I have not saw any of them recently . as i remember reading about the company not doing so well and possible bankrupcty. I awlays did like there chinaware / flatware though.
 
I love Asprey's goods - wonderful craftsmanship with sumptuous materials.
Their handbag collection is exceptionally refined, as with their other accessory designs.
I personally adore their crystal stemware - the colours and executions are absolutely wonderful!
 
I love Asprey's exotic bags. Since the brand is not so recognized outside UK, it is nice to carry it out sometimes and have people passing by wonder what brand the gorgeous bag is. Def. more fun in that sense than Birkin~
 
I paid about 1800USD for one of their multi-color canvas + leather top bags. Fits A4 paper perfectly. The shape is very similar to that of birkin and I find myself using it more often than my birkins and kellys. :tup: very practical yet sophiscated.
 
I've occasionally seen Asprey bags on eBay, and found them quite prim, 'stuffy' and expensive. I don't reccall seing one in Notes on a Scandal, but if Judi Dench was wearing one, enough said! Judi Dench is a fantastic actress, but her character in the movie is far fom likeable. Somehow I can't picture Cate Blanchett's character in Asprey, but who knows?
 
Asprey is London-based and very British. I personally prefer Pickett for this sort of style (check them out) but I have bought notebooks from Asprey and the leather has been gorgeous as has the true colour. I don't think you'd be disappointed on the basis of quality if you love the style.
