Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a well-earned reward, or just time to retire that 20-year-old handbag, Aspinal of London’s Mayfair Bag is the kind of iconic piece that turns your everyday look into something special. A favourite of royals and red-carpet regulars - from the Princess of Wales to Jennifer Lopez - the Mayfair is available in not one, but two styles: the original Mayfair and the updated Mayfair 2.
