Luxury British handbag label Aspinal of London has launched its collection for autumn/winter 2016. The purses are quintessentially English, featuring practical and easy-to-carry silhouettes in classic shades and finishings.

The Midi Marylebone design, also available in a miniature version, features a double-zip closure and is ideal for a day on-the-go. The Pearl Bowling bag, available in two sizes, is a deluxe handbag available in a range of neutral shades, with subtle pearl detailing. The Large Lottie bag is both sophisticated and versatile, and can easily be taken from day-to-night. The Mayfair design is timeless and classic, particularly the croc-texture versions, and its heather-grey model is sure to be a hit with customers seeking luxe, minimal designs for autumn. Finally, the Petite trunk clutches are available in prints, croc-textures and with trendy patch emblems.

The highlight of the new range, however, would have to be the Editor’s tote — a 1940s carryall tote that comes in a roomy, boxy shape, in a variety of colourways — personally, I have my eye on the monochrome model.

A special collaboration with illustrator Emma J Shipley, features the brand's classic handbags stamped with ethereal Pegasus drawings, and will also arrive in stores later this season.

Aspinal of London is located in Yas Mall and The Galleria on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi.
