Aspinal of London introduces us to their new Starlight collection, a dazzling constellation of bags that encapsulate the spirit of the party season with a nostalgic nod to the vibrant 90s. Inspired by the enchanting interplay of light and reflective finishes, Starlight brings a touch of celestial elegance to the social calendar, with each piece designed to reflect the glimmering beauty of starlit night and glittering celebrations.
The starlight collection introduces four meticulously crafted finishes, each offering a shining symphony of light and texture. Glowing with a soft-focused, angelic iridescence, three metallic finishes instantly evoke a season of glamour that’s destined for radiant stardom. Metallic Woven Leather is bold yet elegant, created by expertly weaving leather strips into a base panel, resulting in a tactile, captivating slot weave with recognised allure.
Complementing this, Metallic Micro Woven Leather is a testament to Aspinal’s dedication to craftmanship and innovation, weaving supple goat leather on a leather loom to produce an intricate pattern of fine leather strips. Evoking the delicate shimmer of starlight, the material reveals a mesmerising play of light and shadow.
With a texture that instantly suggest a special occasion, Metallic Lizard brings party-season flair to the brand’s sophisticated Lizard finish, making a bold, eye-catching, yet equally refined statement material. Stardust completes this quarter of photo-ready finishes, imbued with playful, luxurious glitter to add a touch of opulent sparkle, ready to catch the light on the dancefloor.
The colourways of the Starlight collection are curated to complement the exclusive atmosphere of illustrious events. Midnight, a deep, luxurious black, evokes the mystery and allure of an invite-only soiree under the night sky. Gold, with its warm, radiant glow, brings a touch of timeless elegance and grandeur. Champagne offers a soft, fizz-imbued neutral, perfect for adding sophisticated luminescence to any ensemble. Verdant Green, a rich, lit-from-within hue, captures the freshness and vitality of the season, while Blush Pink introduces a delicate, romantic charm. Each colourway is designed to enhance the beauty of the woven, glitter and lizard, ensuring that every piece in the collection is as captivating as it is chic.
The Starlight collection showcases the best of Aspinal’s occasion bags; compact, statement silhouettes for night to remember. From the iconic Mayfair family, the Midi Mayfair and Midi and Mini Mayfair 2 are joined by the popular Paris Bag for chic top handle wear, while the Lottie Clutch is the beguiling must-have clutch bag for every event season wardrobe. A choice of two crossbody styles complete the collection; for a more understated aesthetic, the Camera Bag is ideal for everyday opulence, while the Milly Bag, with its smaller size and glinting chain strap, is the perfect plus one, from drinks receptions to late-night revelry.
