Fairfax & Favor

I’ve been eyeing up handbags at fairfax & favor and have joined a couple of Facebook pages to try to find out more it. The people on the fb pages seem really helpful & theres lots of positive feedback on the products and lots of love for the quality of the items but I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the brand.
I can’t decide who wears it.....is it particularly targeted at people who are into the country/equestrian lifestyle or can someone who just appreciates nice bags get away with carrying one?
The boots sound great too but I don’t think I could carry them off!

I really like it - I’m an ex-city girl now living in the country and have various bags/boots from different brands. The bags are lovely and would work for both city and country- boots are more country than high-fashion - probably wouldn’t wear the knee high boots if I was going to London for example, but into Birmingham/Chester/Bath they’d be fine... I have a 10% off mention me code if you’d like it? 😉

I love them. I’d wear the boots into town here, because I’m on the edge of rural countryside, and like pp said, I previously lived in Wiltshire & would happily have worn them into towns like Bath. I agree that the bags can work in country or town.

Ah thank you for your reply. I’ve always like mulberry but I’m not loving their newer bags & the prices are a bit high for the quality I think. This brand has such good reviews it feels rude not to check it out but there are no stores near me. I’ve sent DH the link to the conker mini Windsor with a not so subtle hint!

I have a small mulberry from a few years back when prices weren’t so bonkers, and I’d say my Fairfax bag is equally as nice. Mine is suede rather than leather but the new conker one is beautiful. Be warned, I’ve gone from lusting after one pair of boots to having three, a bag, a purse and two belts 🙈

But do PM me if you want my code! 10% off is worth it at those prices

I’m just outside Manchester in a very residential/family focussed area. I wfh so don’t need to carry much. I’m a sucker for comfy shoes and the boots do get raved about. I might start with a bag and work my way up. We do quite a bit of walking/parks as a family so something to think about.

I love the look of the suede ones but worry I would wreck it.
Thanks for the code offer. I’ll work on DH

My bag is a mini Windsor- I was worried about the size but it’s actually spot on - not too big as to be annoying but surprisingly spacious if I need to shove more in than usual!

Daisy829 · 18/11/2020 21:44

Yes I’ve read a lot of reviews that say the same so I think the mini will be a perfect size for me.

@Askinvillarblues i have sent you a PM for the code, hope that's ok! thanks :)

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 19/11/2020 09:31

Ohhhhh I’m sitting on my hands here!! I’ve been sooo good this year (after a few years where I went overboard on buying things) - haven’t bought even one bag in the whole year!

It will be verrrry difficult not to even look during BF and Jan sales!😭😭

Askinvillarblues · 19/11/2020 09:31

Of course! I’ve just replied. Happy to share with anyone else too 🙂 Not sure if it includes my name but I don’t post anything controversial anyway 😂fairfaxandfavor.mention-me.com/m/ol/oh9tp-b32d823161

I did it. I got the conker mini Windsor, now I want the same bag in Jaguar & a pair of chocolate calf rockinghams. I’m also eyeing up the Henleys. Slippery slope but beautiful products.

I have some boots (reginas). Love them. Classic, timeless, comfortable.

Chillypenguin · 10/01/2021 23:42

Also a big fan, I also live in Manchester and have the Chelsea boots and the loafers.
