This February, Aspinal of London will be making its first foray into mainland Europe in collaboration with Paris’ famous shopping destination Galeries Lafayette.

The British handbag brand will open a luxury leather goods and accessories pop-up on the first floor of the department store from mid-February until early April.

The pop-up will be housed in a specially commissioned, expertly lit installation shaped like a top-handled trunk. The brand’s Mini Trunk Clutch, Mini Hat Box Bag and small leathers such as the Travel Wallet will be featured under a golden age of travel theme.

Aspinal will celebrate the Parisian venture by launching the pieces in a range of new colours, including lilac, sage green and ivory-camel.

Lisa Montague, CEO of Aspinal of London, said: “I am very excited to cross the Channel with Aspinal to launch our covetable leather pieces in the world’s fashion capital, with our beautiful pop-up at the iconic Galeries Lafayette store.

“We see these first steps into this discerning market at the opening of the spring/summer season as an important milestone in the development of this fast-growing brand.”

With a heritage in British town and country style, Aspinal of London has ten standalone stores in London, in addition to concessions in Harrods, Selfridges and House of Fraser stores and standalone boutiques in Leeds and Edinburgh.
