Slowly but surely, we're inching closer towards spring, the season of beautiful flowers, abundant colour and a fresh new start after winter. What better way to kick off in style than with [Aspinal's glorious new collection](https://www.aspinaloflondon.com/?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=Grazia&utm_campaign=freefeb22reefeb22 ), which is full of the kind of accessories that make getting dressed a doddle.
The starting point for this offering was Charleston House, the epicentre of liberal values for the Bloomsbury Group. Owned by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, there's barely an inch of wall that isn't painted; the whole house is imbued with a spirit of vitality and inspiration. The garden, too, makes for an idyllic spring scene, littered with bluebells and cheery blossom, both of which provide the colours for Aspinal's collection.
As well as luxurious tote bags and romantic, Harlequin print silk scarves, the brand's Mayfair bag has had a spring makeover. It has quickly become the latest 'It' bag of choice for everyone from Gigi Hadid to Jennifer Lopez to the Duchess of Cambridge and, for next season, it's now available in ivory, willow green and bluebell.
Thanks to its timeless shape, this is a bag which will last forever, becoming your go-to carry-all for any event, day or night. The good news is that all of Aspinal's smooth leather is now metal-free and carbon neutral, with all pebble finished leather metal-free. Plus, the straps are made from recycled fabrics.
The Mayfair has strong competition this season, however, thanks to Aspinal's new Resort bag, which will allow you to go hands-free thanks to its cross-body strap. So, whether you prefer that, want to channel vintage vibes with the elegant hat box style or follow J.Lo's lead with the Mayfair, there is quite literally something for everyone. A great start to spring before it's even begun.
