Gifting With Aspinal
When we think of luxury gifts, one of the first names that comes to mind is Aspinal. The British brand, renowned for its high-quality leather goods and gifts rooted in timeless English style, has quite cleverly mastered the art of gift-giving since its founding in 2001.
Specialising in traditional craftsmanship, exquisite designs and use of the finest materials, Aspinal keeps its gifts rooted in timeless English style – whether that be a leather-bound journal, a smart card holder, a stylish handbag or a gleaming pair of cufflinks – and many can be personalised with the initials of the recipient or a message to commemorate a day or occasion. Handmade by a team of skilled artisans from some of the finest workshops in the world, an Aspinal gift is a treasure that will last multiple lifetimes.
Aspinal is also a family business at heart, meaning it knows a thing or two when it comes nailing special gifts for loved ones. If you or someone you know is getting married, this is the place to swing by first. Aspinal’s gifting range spans ideas for him and her, as well as product-specific suggestions like bags, journals, travel accessories, scarves, technology, silver and luxury games. The brand even has its own wedding gift edit, with ideas for the bride, groom and bridal party alike.
Couples looking to spend their special day in style will also have the opportunity to visit Aspinal’s new Wedding Suite from May, where they’ll have exclusive access to the brand’s wedding collection.
