Love the Mayfair. The color works as a neutral and so wearable. Aspinal is a great brand. 😅 agree the card holder was a must. Thanks for sharing and Happy Birthday!
Thanks for posting this video. This also happened to me after ordering from Aspinal of London. I had already ordered there before and then I didn't have to pay anything for import duties, but the last time I had to do that via DHL. I blamed myself because I probably didn't pay attention when ordering and paid something like 80 euros. But that was not necessary!!! Next time I will contact customer service. Oh, and I love your bag. I don't have a Mayfair yet, except for a Nano. But that's more like a SLG that looks nice on my shelf. ;-) And also: happy birthday!
Thanks for watching and the birthday wishes! I'm sorry the same thing happened to you with the import duties. Makes you think they're not just sloppy with their paperwork on occasion. I totally get it, initially I also thought I needed to pay, you're caught off guard and want to get your order. I think I'd reach out to customer service about that last order, because you weren't supposed to pay for that. At least you should be able to get the BTW/VAT back, because that was included in the price. The Mayfair is a gorgeous bag! I've been tempted to get the nano too. I know I shouldn't, because it would indeed sit on a shelf, but it's sooo cute. 😭
Happy birthday! I am a big fan of the green color you got! Glad everything was sorted out on the duty front. Can’t wait to hear your further thoughts on the bag after you have the chance to use it!
Lo thanks for sharing about the duties mix up. I’m glad they fixed for you. This is such a beautiful green love it. I have this on my wish wish list lol 😆. TFS 🛍️👛🚢🙏
What a beautiful colour 😍 absolutely perfect for spring and summer. The Mayfair is such a stunning bag and so well made. Glad that they were able to sort out the tax issue for you!
Thanks so much! It’s such a Goldilocks color to me, wearable in any season, not too dressy, not too casual. I really like that you can pretty much go any way with this style depending on the size and colour you get, while a structured mock-croc bag seems pretty limiting at first.
Congrats on the beautiful new addition to the family, Lo 💚! Glad the issue with the taxes was sorted out but I would’ve been annoyed by the incident. Looking forward to pictures of it on your IG 😊
@@loyayyay I do continue to check out their sales regularly. However, I am currently facing a storage space problem so I am trying to be very thoughtful about what I am buying (and I have so many items on my “interested” list 😅)
Superleuke video en helemaal omdat ik de Lottie en Mayfair op mijn wishlist heb staan😍ik ben heel benieuwd naar je video volgende week en hoe de tas je bevalt en de lengte in cm’s.
De Lottie zou ik ook nog wel willen, maar wel specifiek in de kaviar quilting en die is nog niet in de sale geweest. 😅 Thanks for watching! Zie je volgende week terug voor de review!
Ja precies die Lottie wil ik ook! Ik kan me herinneren dat die vorig jaar in november met 25% in de sale ging en die 25% was op alles. Ik vermoed dat ze dat dit jaar weer gaan doen begin november:)
#Green one is much nicer trust me #goldhardware complements green so well 😍 I only recently discovered this brand and let me tell you, I’m completely hooked 😅Already have 2 Lottie bags, 1 iPhone bag for my travels and a green chroc Mayfair nano that I paired with Aspinal’s #green leather gloves. I’m very #happy with my purchases, the #product #quality is really good and the customer service is great. I’m now done and ready 😅😅 Next time, try a direct #chat with a customer service #agent and you’ll get a resolution in an instance. At least I did. Happy birthday, best wishes 🍀 🎉
Thanks! 😊 Haha, you’re absolutely right, I should’ve just chatted with them, I guess I panicked after work hours, so I ended up sending them an email. I’m also getting hooked on Aspinal 🫣 stalking their website everyday. I’d also love a (quilted) Lottie. 😍
@@loyayyay So, we are in the same boat 🚤😂 Stalking Aspinal #mode 🤣😂 #Thank #you for all your great reviews - out of all, I like yours the most, they are very practical and down to earth. I especially liked the one: Why I don’t buy Chanel, Gucci etc. Honestly, I never felt super safe on the streets whilst wearing my Fendi and Gucci bags. I’ve slowly sold them all, I only kept one more Fendi and one Gucci bag and one of Tod’s Limited edition … one for practical reasons and the other two for its beautiful looks 😎 But honestly, I might sell my last Gucci and Fendi (I’ll keep the Tod’s special edition for life as it’s sooooo beatifully unique: try and google “Tod’s special tatoo edition, double T bag) as I can get so much more elsewhere for a much lower price. Have a good day and thanks again 🌷
@@loyayyay And yes, quilted Lottie is just lovely 🥰 I’m eyeing it too, however I need to think about the color and size. The thing is that I mostly wear smart casual clothes, comfortable shoes too (flats and moccasins mostly), so I need to consider the fact that quilted Lottie is quite elegant style. I would go for a black in the winter I guess, but since I like summer more, I will (somehere in the future) go for a light neutral color Lottie I guess as It can be worn with my summer #linen and white jeans style more and in fact it will elevate it 🥰🥰
Thanks for the lovely compliments, makes me happy to hear my content resonates with you! All I want is to help people make the best choices for themselves and be happy with those. The Lottie is indeed not a casual style of bag, but frankly I’ve just been caring less, I just love it and want it. 😂 I think I’d try to get it in a colour, but also happy to go with black for that one.
Same thing happened to me! I actually ended up paying the DHL tax charge and then reached out to Aspinal to ask about it and they refunded me the money. Learning curve for sure but now I know!

Thank you Millisa! Your Mayfair is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 love the color on that too.

Happy Birthday, What a beautiful bag! I am loving that colour green I think it was a great choice, congrats! 🎉

Thanks Corrine! 🥰 Are you still eyeing the Mayfair bag too?

Haha, I get it!
Taxes and duties after the purchase is such an anticlimax. Luckily it was resolved.
Happy birthday 🎉
Thanks Dani! 🥰
Waaaauw supergaaf dat je een Aspinal tas gekocht hebt!! Ik ben pas bij 2:30 minuten in de video en ben nu al enthousiast haha

So weird that this happens so often. 🤔 Good to hear you got your money back!
