If there’s one thing we’ve learned from watching Kate Middleton’s wardrobe over the years, it’s that she loves a classic. From tailored coats to sleek court shoes, the Princess of Wales is the master of timeless elegance – and when it comes to bags, there’s one she’s carried more than most. Enter the Aspinal of London Mayfair. Structured, elegant and a little bit retro, Kate has long championed the Mayfair – most notably the sleek black croc version – but she’s not the only one who’s fallen for its boxy charm. Gigi Hadid was spotted with hers slung over a sharp blazer and jeans combo in NYC – a masterclass in off-duty polish.
Now, just as the social calendar begins to bloom, Aspinal has given its signature style a seasonal refresh.
The Mayfair is back in fresh new iterations, and dare we say, the accessory has never looked better. This spring, the bag comes in a soft dreamy palette of powder lilac, pistachio and Capri blue – basically the handbag equivalent of a British summer’s day (when it’s actually sunny). They’re the kind of shades that look great with crisp cotton, neutral tailoring or a romantic floral dress – basically, your entire warm-weather wardrobe.
There are also raffia versions for those embracing summer’s natural textures; think delicate florals and tiny birds stitched onto velvet and canvas. For anyone ready to inject a bit more colour into their accessories game, the tri-colour versions offer an unexpected twist: soft, tonal contrasts like sage, ivory and pistachio that still feel grown-up.
Whether you’re emulating Kate’s regal chic or Gigi’s city-cool, the Mayfair isn’t just a handbag – it’s a style signature. Shop below.
