Something like an Aspinal bag but not as spend?

[DontDoThatGeorge]

I'd like to get DD 20 a weekend bag for her 21st. Fancy one, leather etc. She hoikes a lot of stuff about to and from work /home /boyfriend etc.

Aspinal prices are a little out of range, probably. Or is it hopeless? Something like the City Holdall?

As its 21st present it has to be gorgeous, and I thought you vipers might know best.

Please help!

My kingdom for an edit button.

Not that this is answering your question, but how about buying a smaller aspinal item? I have this purse-it's 3 years old and like new.

How about this Osprey one?

Thank you. That is lovely. I could get her a purse and another thing. It's just she could really use a good bag.

Budget could go to £250. Would have snapped that one up in the sale.

Do Aspinal have a regular sale or an outlet or secret cheaper place?

Or this Ted Baker one?

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/ted-baker-albany-eco-recycled-holdall/p6288515?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

Oh god, that's lovely. The pink one!

Good reduction too.

Do you have a designer outlet village near you.
there’s an Osprey at Freeport in Essex.
they have gorgeous travel bags.

It's a bit too fussy for her. She's v simple in her tastes. Right size though!

Also, definitely want leather. But thank you!

Isn't it. Might just bite the bullet on that tonight. Eep.

I have had Osprey in the past-worth checking out TK Maxx but definitely check the quality.

That reduction though is hard to beat 😍

Bloody miles from me, sadly. We do have a designer outlet not far though. I'm just not good on cool names.

@DontDoThatGeorge I would, I'm half tempted myself-the Osprey is winning for me

I'm not good on names, but in the climbing world you would be hard pressed to beat an Osprey backpack for quality.

My 21 year old asked for a large Longchamp Pilage in black. Apparently it's a coveted item amongst her friends.

I think the more established and classic brands are making a comeback/ becoming more popular amongst the younger adults.

Katie Loxton?

Aspinal have an outlet online and there was an outlet at the O2 - but niche

Osprey did have a large store at St Albans and did have stores at the outlets in Ashford, York and Gloucester

Re Le Pliage - they do last - you can also get discounted at John Lewis and can personalise certain ones

If you're a John Lewis member they have 20% off Aspinall until sone date in Sept - just remembered seeing it last time I was on the App

I couldn't resist the Osprey in pink. I've bought it. It's perfect and she'll love it.

Thank you loads @NoEffingWay 🥂

This is on my list! www.ospreylondon.com/the-adaline-leather-weekender-clay-pink

No way! Did we cross post and you'd bought the one i suggested 😂madness. I've just bought the matching workbag after starting a thread on here.

@LaCorOr I was worried it would sell out if I refreshed. It's GORGEOUS 😍

@DontDoThatGeorge 🥂! Pleased you found something she will love.

An Aspinal sample sale is coming up.😀
