Sometimes, well maybe more times than we can imagine, our obsession with luxury accessories can take over and we can become blindsided by impeccable pieces that would elevate our personal style. This is by no means a bad thing, far from it in fact. If this obsession is triggered into overdrive then we have to think that whatever brand we are looking into at the time is clearly worth its attention.

Aspinal of London is such a brand where it is very difficult to find a product that we do not like. In fact there is so much choice of product each season that it can become a little overwhelming, but in the excited way and not the intimidating way we normally expect.

There is a large selection of pieces for us gents, while there is also something to please the ladies. They also stock a wonderfully stylish selection of albums, books, home ware pieces and gifts which we shall show you later on.

Early Days

The brand was originally founded in 2001 by the current and longstanding chairman Iain Burton. Aspinal of London began its journey designing and manufacturing exquisitely handmade small leather pieces and hand bound leather books with the creative talents of artisans found in England and Italy. It wasn’t until five years later, in 2006 that the brand extended itself beyond its online retail shop to open a store within Selfridges, London. It only took the company a further six years to launch six standalone retail locations in London and then opening its first international retail store in Kuwait in January of 2013.

The brand is clearly founded on and lives by an ethos of beautiful, elegant and refined designs of superior quality. Something the folks here at High Def Male are proud to say is held as a shopping ethos when we are looking to top up our wardrobes. We also believe on longevity when it comes to a product, we see clothes, shoes and accessories as investments that can be cherished and lovingly worn for a lifetime. This is why Aspinal of London is a company that we believe in because every single product that is produced is done so with pride, care and a style that is quintessentially British, designed and manufactured in England.
