I snagged the last of these from the Selfridges website a few weeks ago after it had sold out at Aspinal, and finally had the opportunity to take her out of the house where I remembered to take a pic :biggrin:

The Marmalade Ombre Midi Mayfair is my first of this size, as my other Mayfair is a Mini in Bordeaux Silk Lizard. Does anyone know if Aspinal will issue the regular/large Mayfair in something other than the standard colors anytime soon? My bank account says no, but my heart says "Dragonfly and Cherry Ombre are such pretty colors" :lol: The Marmalade photographs brighter/redder than it is in person, as it's more of a pumpkin-esque shade, but I love it completely. So far it's paired quite well with navy, grey, cream, red, and deep pink, and coordinates smashingly with the Klimt print scarf.
What a stunner! I love the scarf too!

Happy New Year Everyone! I still can't believe that Aspinal does not yet have its own proper community/forum page on TPF. I have just bought this beauty in the sale! :biggrin: It is a regular sized Lottie with the flower embossing. It reminds me of art nouveau style patterns and has a hint of the Chanel camellia embossed designs.

I got the same bag! The flower pattern adds just a little bit more personality to a fairly plain, black bag. And I like that the inside is a darker shade of red.

Shipping is taking a really long time though I'm just feeling quite impatient lol. I ordered 5 days ago and am still waiting for their U.S. distributor to send me tracking information (Aspinal's order status just reads "accepted").

The champagne glitter is on sale atm, just ordered for my birthday! X
Oooh, the website pics make it look like such a nice color! Would you mind posting pics when you get it and give your opinion of the glitter material? I couldn't tell from the website if it looks like glitter would come off easily. It mentioned that the glitter could snag delicate fabrics.

I hope your bag arrives soon. Mine arrived today and it is lovely but I am a little bit concerned about the quality control. There is what looks like glue on the Aspinal part of the hardware. Do you know if there is supposed to be a protective sticker on the 'Aspinal' logo part? I took the ones off the outside and the plate inside the bag. There is also a dent in the leather. That is less of an issue for me, as the Landsdowne bag is also smooth leather and I know this creases easily.

I love the bag too much to send it back and know it will take ages for a swap or refund. I bought a pouch last month in the sale and returned it and still not had a refund.

A similar issue for me! I previously posted here a lovely Mayfair that I ordered, but unfortunately had to return it for a replacement after finding out the inside lining of the bag was defective.

My replacement bag arrived today and while the inside is fine, this time the outside looks off to me. The handle is slightly crooked and the whole bag seems wonky (the left side is not asymmetrical to the left). It also arrived with no tissue packing inside the bag, whereas my previous order did. I wonder if that damaged the shape in transit.

Does anyone else see the wonkiness here? I'm trying to figure out if my eyes are just playing tricks on me. I also don't want to have to make a return for a second time :( don't want to be super picky, but if I pay hundreds for a bag I don't want to be disappointedIMG_6709.JPGIMG_6708.JPGIMG_6705.JPGIMG_6706.JPGIMG_6707.JPG

From your photos i cannot see any faults. I think this bag is stunning! It is very high up on my wishlist as well, but it's sold out right now...

Was there just a price increase? The midi mayfair is $800. I seem to remember the MSRP was less. I wish I had taken advantage of the sales during the holiday season. But I had too much shopping for others to do.

I think there was a small one, it was $790 USD in December, if I recall correctly.

Speaking of December purchases, I have an order that has been "awaiting dispatch" since December 22, 2022. An item I had pre-ordered shipped after this (Dec. 30) and was delivered two weeks ago, but I still haven't gotten any updates on this order. I reached out to customer service a week ago and still haven't gotten any updates. Has this happened to anyone else?
