In 2001, technology entrepreneur Iain Burton, the original inventor and supplier of audio-guides to some of the world’s most prestigious museums, such as the National Gallery in London, the Louvre in Paris, and the Vatican, founded AudioGuides International. As a result of this collaborative effort, Aspinal of London became a supplier of bespoke leather accessories and stationery to museum gift shops, quickly establishing itself as a luxury lifestyle consumer brand with a global reach. The Aspinal of London brand has maintained its artisanal heritage over the years, producing hand-crafted leather accessories with a distinct British aesthetic.
According to the etymology, Aspinal is an Old English given name that comes from the countryside and refers to a grove of trees next to a well. It is a name that is symbolic of nature, strength, and generosity. The logo is a coat of arms, a heraldic symbol, and an embodiment of the spirit of our company. The shield is a symbol of protection and superiority. The castellation border represents the English home, which is represented by a castle. It represents a quill, which is a symbol of the skill and craftsmanship that goes into creating beautiful products that are built to last for generations.
Our company’s headquarters are located within the West Sussex Downs National Park, in the heart of the English countryside, in the heart of the country. However, while Aspinal of London was conceived in some of the world’s most esteemed museums, galleries, and cultural institutions in London, our roots are firmly planted in the English countryside; the dualities of city and country go hand in hand, shaping our brand identity and becoming inextricably etched into our creative handwriting.
Aspinal products are built to last a lifetime; we design them with the expectation that they will be passed down through the family for generations. Craftsmanship is at the heart of achieving this level of quality, and it is one of the defining characteristics of our brand. Aspinal started out as a family-run business, and that has remained the case to this day. Our company’s family values begin at the top, fostering a strong sense of community among our team members and customers, as well as a warm and welcoming environment in each of our stores.
We are enthusiastic about everything we do and are genuinely pleased with the results of our efforts. Along with our pride comes a sense of responsibility, and we are committed to acting consciously as a company in order to lessen our environmental impact and effect positive change in the world in which we live.
#BeeAspinal encompasses our commitments across the entire organisation, which are divided into our four Ps: Product, Planet, Partnership, and People.
Stella Satchel Burgundy Pebble
For the latest addition to Aspinal of London’s crossbody collection, look no further than the Stella Satchel. A satchel bag, which was inspired by an equestrian saddle bag, is a timeless classic that will never go out of style.
Our Stella Satchel has been designed to seamlessly integrate into the Aspinal woman’s lifestyle, and will take you from mid-week in the city to weekend getaways in the countryside…. The Stella Satchel is designed to be worn across the body, allowing for maximum comfort without compromising on style. It is constructed with function and versatility in mind.
Genuine Falabella bags should have a chain that runs the entire length of the bag, with no gaps or joints, and that is proportional to the bag’s size; for example, a Falabella Mini bag will have smaller links than a regular tote bag.
A satchel is a bag with a strap that has traditionally been used for carrying books and other small items. The strap is frequently worn in such a way that it crosses the body diagonally, with the bag hanging on the opposite hip rather than directly down from the shoulder, rather than directly down from the shoulder.

Small Stella Satchel
The benefit of a satchel is that it is a lightweight piece of luggage; however, if you need to transport a large amount of items, you should consider backpacks or holdalls. The smallest satchel is about the size of a small handbag, measuring approximately 12cm in height, 15cm in width, and 6cm in depth.
Because of its size and ability to be carried in the same manner as a backpack, a satchel is frequently associated with a student bag. A more accurate description, on the other hand, is simply a bag with straps that can hold a few books. Brahmin satchels have handles and are frequently equipped with an additional strap that can be worn over the shoulder to complete the look.
After all, satchels are officially back in fashion, and we’ve heard that the newer versions are even better than their vintage counterparts. Satchels in miniature and more structured shapes are expected to be popular in 2020, according to fashion experts.
An everyday handbag with short handles that you can clutch in your hands or hook through one arm is known as a satchel. A shoulder bag is a type of bag that is carried on one shoulder, similar to a tote bag. A crossbody bag is a style in which you carry your bag diagonally across your body.

Zipped Regent Tote
One of the reasons that designer handbags are so expensive is that the quality is unrivalled in this industry. They’re made of the highest quality materials, from ornate clasps to hardware that will never tarnish or corrode. When high-quality leather – or even exotic skins – is used in the construction of a bag, the price can quickly escalate.
Because it has a resale value of approximately 119 percent, the Zipped Regent Tote bag makes for an excellent investment piece. The bag is available in a variety of colours and designs that sell out quickly and are in high demand, which contributes to the high resale value.
A tote bag is a large, often unfastened bag with parallel handles that protrude from the sides of the pouch it is contained in. Tote bags are frequently used as reusable shopping bags in retail establishments.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word ‘tote’ is a term that originated in the United States. Despite the fact that its exact origins are unknown, it appears to have originated in West Africa, possibly as a variant of the Kikongo word for “pick up” or the Swahili word for “carry,” and that it was brought to the American South by enslaved Africans during the slave trade.
