Aubrey England


I have just discovered this amazing new handbag brand. Designed by Isla Simpson, these stunning bags have all the class and sophistication of high-end designer brands (such as Anya Hindmarch) with far more manageable price tags (roughly £35 for a wallet, £100+ for handbags). I gauge the success of a bag by three main factors: 1) Is it leather? 2) Does it fit comfortably on my shoulder? 3) Does it look timeless? When I went to visit the Aubrey pop-up shop in Covent Garden, it would have been tricky to find a single piece that did not meet all three. I know I don’t technically need any more bags but by gads I want some of these.
