Easing ourselves out of lockdown and into the world of socialising comes with it the need for a wardrobe refresh. Gone are the days of lounging around in pyjamas, as we can finally venture outside whilst dressed to impress. So quite rightly, we need the right accessories to accompany us. Enter Aspinal of London’s new Spring collection…
Inspired by the beautiful landscape of Aspinal’s countryside home in the West Sussex Downs, this collection of handbags and leather accessories pays homage to the natural beauty, buzzing bees and fluttering butterflies found within the British countryside.
Bringing this inspiration to life is the vibrant colour palette of the bags and keyrings – chalkhill blue and meadow yellow complement deeper tones of grey and khaki. Meanwhile, each accessory is crafted from upcycled materials of metal-free and carbon-offset leathers - both durable and long-lasting.
But perhaps the best thing about the collection is the sustainability factor. As well as using upcycled materials to champion the brand’s goal of reducing waste and lessening the impact on our natural environment, Aspinal will donate a percentage of sales to the South Downs National Park Trust. This will fund the plantation of a wildflower meadow within Aspinal’s headquarters to help support the livelihood of wildlife. Pretty cool, right?
