We're always searching for a bargain and I've just clocked the Aspinal summer sale, with up to 60% off across a range of bags and leather accessories - including that much coveted Mayfair bag, loved by Princess Kate, with a nice, hefty discount.
As royal-approved bag brands go, they don't get much more approved than Aspinal, the handbag and accessories brand that is toted by the likes of the Princess of Wales, Zara Tindall, Princess Eugenie and Queen Camilla, to name just a few. I spotted plenty at Ascot too.
Princess Kate has worn the label throughout the years on numerous royal occasions and public engagements, with her go-to being the Aspinal Mayfair bag. Something we've always dreamed of owning, as it's such a brilliantly classic yet cool bag.
And the brand has just announced they're offering an extra 20% off when you add an accessory to your basket; even better!
- The Aspinal summer sale is on, with up to 60% off plus an extra 20% off at basket.
- The British brand is loved by royals and A-listers, from Princess Kate to Jennifer Lopez.
- The sale includes handbags, leather accessories and small leather goods.
Along with Kate, fellow royal Zara Tindall is also a big Aspinal wearer. In fact, Zara may even have a more varied collection than Kate's, with the brand's Camera Crossbody bag, Letterbox Saddle Bag and the Lottie Clutch in her accessories collection.

Queen Camilla and Princess Beatrice are also Aspinal stans, along with A-listers Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez and Lily James. So you're in good company if you're browsing the Aspinal's big summer sale.
My highlights from the Aspinal of London sale
Kate really is known for her love of Aspinal of London, and her go-to bag the Mayfair (which she owns in black and lilac) is on sale in various colours - you’ll want one in every hue, trust me.
Aspinal isn't just about bags, though. Their range of small leather goods is stunning, with makeup bags, pouches and jewellery cases on sale. Aspinal's jewellery is worth a second look too, along with their stationery - who doesn't love a gorgeous notebook? Some of the brand's pieces can be personalised with initials, for that extra special touch.
