THE HANDBAG GODS HAVE HEARD MY PRAYERS AND RELEASED A BORDEAUX MAYFAIR ON SALE! To which I snapped up as fast as my fingers could hit “add to cart”.

Handbag twins again :drinks: Okay that’s it, no more bags for 2021 for real this time. Even if they release a navy Mayfair on sale.

ETA: I think I got the last one, it’s out of stock now.

Whoo Hoo! I'm so happy for you. You will love it (I hope). I'm staring at mine right now and I just love the rich color. :drinks:
I'm really interested in hearing what you think about the two sizes.
 
I forgot to post this! This regular sized Mayfair in bordeaux patent croc and smooth leather arrived a week ago, and is as stunning as in the photos. All the details are very luxe, and the interior is very roomy. This is the 10” version; I find that it fits about the same as the 9.25” evergreen one that I have (that one is a touch more deeper).

What fits inside with a little room to spare: small pouch, card holder, masks, hand sanitizer, hand cream, battery pack, e-reader, phone

Gorgeous! :loveeyes: :loveeyes: :loveeyes: Enjoy!
 
woohoo! double bag twins! Congrats. Yes, I found that it fit about the same in terms of what they both fit, except I was able to fit a book into the 10" one. What are your thoughts so far about the sizes?
After getting both the 9.25” version and the 10” version, I like the square shape of the 9.25” version. It looks more dainty and pretty to me. The 10” one looks a tad like messenger bag with its wider shape. Maybe it’s because I have a PS1 in burgundy colour so I automatically have an image in my head that burgundy rectangular shaped bags look like messengers. The bordeaux one is still very pretty and I will keep both, but next time I buy a Mayfair I’ll go for the 9.25” one (it’s deeper so both sizes are approximately the same).

Remember how I was telling you that I wish I had gotten the evergreen in 10” version? Looking back thankfully I didn’t get that :smile: which size do you prefer?

Have you decided to keep both as well? Any other AoL on your wishlist right now? :flowers:

I am going to keep them both because I just can't make up my mind and they are so pretty! haven't decided if I have a favorite yet, but partly that has to do with the fact that I haven't really left the house lately and haven't had a chance to really see how they work for me n a regular basis. In terms of size, I think the slightly larger one might look a little better on me because I'm tall ( a bit over 5'8"), but my own association with that shape is with work bags/briefcases, so I might be influenced in the same way that you are influenced by equating burgundy as messenger bags. On me, I think that the green one looks like a nice going-out bag or small day bag on my frame. Maybe I should take some photos and see what you all think.

I do remember you wishing you got the green one in the larger size. And I'm glad that you didn't! I think that I'm glad I didn't either. For some reason I think the bordeaux color suits the larger style a bit better.

In terms other Aspinal bags, yes! that Pandora - in a bright color! I also love Florence bag, but I think it might be too dressy for my daily lifestyle.

Hope you find a Pandora soon in a colour that makes your heart sing! It’s a beautiful bag and it was also on my radar at one point, however the photo above of my bag contents is the minimum amount of stuff that I take with me anywhere (I don’t exactly travel light :biggrin:), and unfortunately Pandora isn’t able to accommodate all of that comfortably. I have my eye on a navy croc Mayfair in regular size, but I need to sit on my hands for a while because I bought quite a bit of bags in 2021 and haven’t gotten rid as much as I like yet. And we had a home appliance break down a few days ago so no more new bags for a while!

Yes, the 10” version certainly suits taller people better! I’m not very tall, at 5’3, and that may be another reason why I prefer the 9.25” one more. Always love seeing modshots!

I will take some mod shots next time I wear something other than my joggers! That could be a while ...
 
Speaking of which, I did wear some of my AoL silk scarves to Zoom meetings at work but nobody noticed haha, I guess everyone is just too used of seeing each other in joggers that nobody cares about accessories anymore :biggrin:
This is not the best shot, but I'm wearing the Robin Scarf in this pic. My bag is a BV Nodini. I dressed up this day because I was getting my first vaccine! I'll take any event these days.
