Recently discovered AOL and their bags are gorgeous! Does anyone have the regular Mayfair? Trying to decide between it and the midi. My biggest concern is how heavy the bags are.

I have the midi and it is not heavy at all, but still feels substantial. The regular is great if you carry more s, so it was a little too big for me. I find it to be quite a formal bag, so opted for the midi as I will probably only use it in the evenings.
I love the Lottie for daytime use.
Thank you! Are you able to fit your essentials in the smaller Mayfair? I'm in the States so it's not like I can pop in and check out the bags in person.I have the midi and it is not heavy at all, but still feels substantial.

I was wondering about the Lottie, as well. Do you have the smaller or larger version?I have the Lottie (the middle size) and it’s beautiful. Quite small though. I carry a small wallet, AirPods, lip balm, keys and my iPhone 13 mini. I could probably fit a bit more but I hate when everything is wedged in.Thank you!

I also have the regular lottie. It easily fits my wallet and phone and has enough room to fit a pair of sunglasses and maybe some very small other things such as chapstick. If you want to carry more than that I'd recommend the large lottie. It's an incredibly beautiful bag and after wearing it almost every day for 3-4 months I can't see any marks of wear. I am a big fan!
It sounds like the bag for me. I have an iPhone 11 but not the max and I usually travel light, but need room for reading glasses. Thanks!

sorry I didn't see this post! Yes - I can fit a great amount in both! I actually uploaded a YouTube video about both bags so I will PM you the link!
I have the regular Mayfair in both the older sizing (used to be 10" long) and the newer one (9.25" long). They are wonderful bags and really aren't that big looking, yet can still hold quite a bit. I can fit my kindle in there if that helps.
My super talented friend photo-shopped it for me
That IS really talented, wow! If that’s what it ends up looking like, I think it may not be the right shade of pink for me, but if so, good to know in advance!
I'm a sucker for anything that looks like something Elle Woods would carry...
I thought I would share this here 
On top is my midi Mayfair in mocha, I bought it for £595. On the bottom is a Ferragamo Boxyz alligator bag in a very similar style that my SA sent me from the outlet, currently retailing at £6400.
You can see that even though the Aspinal leather is not crocodile, it looks almost identical to the Ferragamo alligator leather.
I truly believe Aspinal is such a great value for money and this further cemented that for me

Hi everyone! I did a virtual shopping appointment with Aspinal today (I am in the states). I was surprised to find out they actually have more colors of the bags than are offered online. For example they still have the micro lottie in ivory with tan trim which has been gone from the website for months. They also have the midi mayfair in midnight blue. It was a lot of fun! I'd definitely recommend them, just make sure you nail down what form of communication they are going to use as there was some confusion on their end about that.
