It came and Hubby told me to check if it is intact before stashing it away for the holiday. It is so cute and wrapped so nice. I can't wait to get to really hold it and wear it.

Does anyone know if aspinal typically has big sales after the holidays?
I see they're having a 20% off sale currently on their website but not sure if prices may drop more after Christmas.
I'm eyeing a midi mayfair bag, the lottie, and perhaps a tote bag to replace my neverfull.

which bag did you get? I visited their flagship store last month when I was in London and looked at many items but couldn't make a decision while I was there so didn't end up purchasing anything. There was a suede hobo that would have been perfect if it came in grey but only had in brown and black. I loved the hatbox bags but the mini was so cute and wouldn't hold a phone and the bigger size didn't come in as many fun colors. The mayfairs were nice and came in some pretty colors.
I've just stumbled on their 25% off sale that is going on now, and the website banner at the top says an extra 5% if you sign up.
Q for those of you that have the Lottie bag (or any, really) - are they heavy bags? The weight isn't listed on the website. I haven't scoured YouTube yet for videos but may have to start checking.
Hi! I have about 8 AOL bags and they are not heavy at all. I won’t use a bag with a chain strap with no leather breaks/ pads tho if I will be walking all day. Unless I am wearing a coat/jacket so the straps won’t dig into my shoulders and bother me when worn all day. That said, if I am caught with one of my chain strap bags for a long day trip, I will carry it over my shoulder vs crossbody to make the feel of the chain on my shoulder better and less heavy. I have both sizes of the lotties - the large can get heavy when you fill it up since the chains are very substantial and thicker than the small lottie. The small lottie is not heavy for me even when filled up. The small is also a lot smaller so I tend to fill it up when using it compared to the large one. Hope this helps.
Just bought the Lottie clutch and 2 SLGs from their recent sale last month. So far, all of my AOL bags have been holding up well. I do rotate them and don’t use any one of them every single day. Hubby uses his AOL wallet daily and it still looks new. He is not one to baby his stuff. Hope this helps.
I have a midi mayfair I find it quite heavy, even empty. It's not the most comfortable to wear unless you just hold it by hand. The chain is thin and doesn't carry the weight of the bag well. Once my phone goes in I don't even want to carry it. Many midis are shiny patent which likely makes the weight more.
Got a East West Tote in Caspian Blue (now marked discontinued) during their sale right now - it'll be arriving tomorrow! 
I ordered and returned a Midi tote last year. It was very pretty, but stiff and seemed rather heavy even when empty. I will be in London in the fall and look forward to visiting their flagship store. I'm sure I'll find a nice souvenir to take home.
AOL Small Stella. Great quality. I have a Mulberry bag scarf on it, present from my adult daughter so like to use it. But it’s great quality and far more durable, day to day, than my Mulberry Mini Sadie. I’ve only bought SLGs but I’m a convert. 💐 love them both though.

I love the leather and colour!
The magnetic closure/snap is really strong though - not sure if I like that but time will tell.Attachments
I really like this but was concerned the thin strap might hurt my shoulder and what do you think of the bigger version?
Weight on bags really affects my shoulders. I would love to purchase another one of their bags, but it is so hard to judge the weights on them from a picture.
