I just got a large Lottie bag, in black quilted kaviar, and, admittedly, the leather did feel and look rather dry. Thankfully, after applying leather wax to the bag, it magically sprung back to life. It appears that the kaviar leather dries out during storage. An application of good quality leather wax will definitely bring it to life, and then you'll feel and see the beauty of this bag.
I just bought the large Lottie bag in black quilted kaviar, and it felt and looked absolutely luxurious. I must admit that applying leather wax to the bag really brought it to life: the leather felt more supple, and took on a lovely sheen. Perhaps, this kaviar leather dries out during storage.
I really enjoyed seeing the pieces you have. Maria and you have different items, and it's interesting to see what you each chose. Thank you for this video!
I love your nails and you look so pretty! I am in love with that butterfly scarf, how lovely for the up and coming months! Love your new camera bag!! I own a wallet from A of L and the hardware is amazing. I think I’ll switch into it. 🥰♥️🥰
Thank you Julie!! 😘 Aspinal also has some absolutely gorgeous big square silk scarves, very detailed designs, but I just know I would never wear them! 😭 I don't have a wallet yet, but I might have to get one next time, probably in the same burgundy pebbled leather, it's such a rich color.
That camera bag is getting popular. Aspinal might manifest your wishes to colour block it. That Mayfair is so elegant. I think Kate Middleton has one too💕💕💕
Oh she has many of them, they definitely use her picture in their marketing! It's a very ladylike bag, can't wear this one with yoga clothes for sure! Thanks Dani 🥰
Thank you Yota! I think you would love a Mayfair bag, but go for the croc embossed, not the patent 😁 they may not bring back the croc emboss ones until fall collection drops.
Can't go wrong with the pebbled leather, or the deep shine croc. I'm not as enamored of the patent leather, but that's probably because the embossed croc is so stunning. Thanks for watching!
Hi Jane. You have a beautiful collection. I especially like your Mayfair bag. I’ve just bought the midi size (medium) in the patent croc. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your new Camera A bag. 💙xx
Love your collection! 😍 Such a classy and classic collection! I need to try their silk scarves! So many that I love! My Camera A bag’s zipper wasn’t smooth either. Pass some wax paper and mine glides since then. Everyone I know who has gotten a Camera A bag seems to have that same problem. And my, your nails look lovely! Love the gold accent - I do that a lot as well! 🤩 Thanks for collaborating with me! It was so much fun! Hugs my friend! 😘
Thank you so much Maria, I loved doing this collab with you! 😘 I am going to try that trick with my zipper. I should try with my Gucci camera bag zipper too; it's also not very smooth. You really should pick a silk scarf when they do another sale, they are so perfect for tying on a bag! 🦋💖
Love your collection! Aspinal is one of my favourite brands and I have the original camera bag in black and love it! Yours is even more beautiful in that taupe colour 😍 new subbie here xx
Hi honey! Foxy is beautiful 😻 and that case when you put up to the camera, the quality 😱stunning!! Wow I’ve heard of them years ago but never really looked into it. still watching 🙇🏻♀️ Happy Monday! 🌷😘
Your collection and Maria's are so beautiful, Jane! I love the rich jewel tones of the cosmetic case.🤩 sad that the Lottie didn't work out for you. When you mentioned the "kaviar" leather I had a cheeky thought: did Aspinal collab eith the Kardashians for this material?!😅Congrats on your A Bag, lovely! The color is so nice --would match your Hermès bracelet well!
You look fabulous, Jane! Your camera bag is very nice and the color is beautiful. I love the scarves. That’s a shame about the Lottie. I heard so many good things about it, too. It could be your batch wasn’t right, but definitely it’s not worth keeping if you aren’t satisfied.
Thank you Dawn! I was so looking forward to having a luxury leather flap bag, but as I said, I am all about the leather feeling amazing to the touch. Spoiled by Coach and Gucci, probably. I will keep searching, the Tory Burch Kira looks nice, of course there's also Saint Laurent, but ouch at their prices!!
Hi Jane, hope you had a nice weekend! The black Mayfair bag is quite elegant 🎀 Your entire Aspinal of London collection is lovely. I also like all the SLGs you've showcases here. I'm in the market for a new black Chanel flap card holder in black lambskin with gold hardware; each time I call their customer service to inquire, they're out of stock. Hopefully one of these days I'll get lucky 👛
Thank you so much! I didn't know I could just call Chanel to order something...! There is no store near me so I do not have a SA to work with, unfortunately. I would love a card case from them one day! It might even eclipse my Gucci card case. Have a great week!
Thanks Gwenny! For whatever reason the Lottie just had dry stiff leather, I couldn't look past it! But the camera bag is a cutie, I'm glad I went with it instead.
Such a disappointment! Thanks for sharing, it is kind of nice to know I'm not the only one who noticed this -- I was starting to think I was being far too fussy! Good luck with your return, definitely go for the pebbled leather instead.
Your black reminds me of a Kelly 🙈 right? Did you see the new Panthere de Cartiere, it’s almost identical to yours! Love the shiny and beautiful quality moc croc 😎 such a missy lady classy look✨💃🏻 I saw your new one on IG ☺️ I like that it’s a less common camera bag 😎 The one you sent back does look like a Chanel 🙀 too bad it didn’t feel good 😖 glad you can get these on sale as well 🤑 I’ll check out their website. Thanks for sharing honey Congrats!☀️🌷💞✨😘
Just looked up the Cartier bag, omg, it's the same, except you know, $2300 more. I like mine a lot better, tbh, the croc emboss is top tier, very akin to Saint Laurent's. Thank you so much for watching and supporting !! 🥰✨
@@janehex Yes I like yours better too ☺️ I saw small Florence that also looks like the peekaboo which I’m not a fan of 🙈😅structured then with time the discombobulated look 👎🏼😂 and the opening expands in some cool way! 😍💃🏻 also the minis like yours omg 💞and the clear trunk! I love anything clear, I could throw my LV SLG’s and who’s gonna tell me anything! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻😂👏🏼😘😘
Beautiful collection, Jane. Especially love the Mayfair bag, but I am too scare to buy another patent leather item after few bad experiences with patent leather, bag with Gucci, wallet with Louis Vuitton vernis and shoes with Salvatore Ferragamo. My black Ferragamo patent wallet has become so sticky I wanted to throw it away as I just can’t sell to anyone.
Yeah I have heard patent does become sticky in more humid/hot climates. That's one reason I chose the embossed croc instead of patent, I hope they bring back the embossed exotic leather in the future instead of what they have right now, which is just patent. Thank you for watching!
@@janehex I live in Sydney AUS, not humid or hot at all 😄. The biggest department here used to stock Aspinal bags a few years ago, but not anymore. I would like to have a Mayfair bag one day, too many beautiful colors to choose.
Jane, just put a bit of olive oil on a paper towel and run it over the zipper. Should do the trick. I have this same camera bag in the burgundy colour..
Thank you Mimi! I am going to try a few things. I don't know why but a sticky zipper downgrades the usability of a bag for me sooo much, lol. Oh, isn't Aspinal burgundy amazing??
