Beautiful! Does anyone have the ivory colour from AoL and can share a picture of it? I’m looking at the lottie in ivory but sometimes the pics online are different from real life.

Also worried about the strap length. I’m 5’3 and worried it’ll be too long. Would someone be able to share a pic of a lottie cross body?
I have the large Lottie. I’m 5’7”. I generally wear it on my shoulder. If I do wear it crossbody, it sits on my hip.
Hope this helps.
 
Does anyone have an IRL picture of the lavender pebble from AOL? The lottie is currently on sale. I have a credit from them from a return and was wondering if I should get it. The website picture looks too bright for my taste. I prefer the soft taupe color. I don’t know if the credit expires, if not, I can probably wait till the end of the year to use it. I also like the midi Mayfair bag but not sure about the current bordeaux color that is on sale. Not sure if it will be hard to wear with regular outfits. Any thoughts / recommendation welcome. Thank you!

I bought this bag last year. Used it for about a month and the clasp already started showing some peeling. Not impressed with the quality :sad: (picture is from the day i received it)IMG_7527.jpeg

Thank you for the photo! So sorry to hear about the clasp peeling. I will be very disappointed too… Maybe I should go for another bag or wait till something I like comes up...

This thread has been a wonderful read to learn more about Aspinal of London's bags - I've read all 44 pages and enjoyed all of the beautiful bags and helpful discussions. :biggrin:

I'm curious about the patent croc versus the standard embossed croc - I've read in this thread that some prefer the embossed croc over the patent croc, but the Trunk bag that I'm looking at is currently only sold in the patent croc. From what I've researched and seen on secondhand sites, it previously came in non-patent croc.

Do people have opinions on what makes embossed croc better or worse than patent croc? I'm specifically interested in durability - I actually love the shininess of patent, just worried about how it'll hold up to scratches and regular use over time.

Also, really interested in hearing about the differences in finish if anyone has any insights to share.

I just recently purchased the Aspinal of London Midi Mayfair in the smooth tan and raffia colourway and am waiting for it to be delivered. Very excited.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts about the Strathberry Tote bag in embossed croc versus the Aspinal of London Mayfair in embossed croc. Which would you choose?

So I decided to use my credit and go for the midi mayfair bag that was on sale instead. It had been a grueling experience following up on the refund of my return and after a month, I decided to call instead of going back and forth over email & simply happy that the issue got resolved.

The bag finally arrived today. Here she is. It is a darker color IRL than what the website depicted. I love it! Debating if I should take her on vacation…
