Aspinal of London?

timotei, 4 December, 2008 at 14:09 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 9

Hi

Forgive my ignorance but is this company well thought of or is it a bit naff?

Was thinking of getting my husband a leather train pass holder for Christmas from my daughter and this company popped up.

Thanks for any opinions.

    Yes I think so. Although in my ill-informed mind, it's not as prestigious as Smythson. That could be utter nonsense though!

    Ah thank you.

    Will check out Smythson, but cost does feature heavily as well!

    We got an album from Aspinal and tbh the service was sh1te. The album itself was lovely when we finally got it but it took them over 2 months, they didn't advise there were delays etc.

    Re the train pass, I have just got H this one

    which is boxed and quite a good price.

    Don't know if this helps?

    I too got an album and the service was awful. It was a wedding present and was a month late, no apologies and i had to chase them all the time.

    Wouldn't buy from them again.

    HTH

    RBH I stole the idea from your post on BT!!

    That is great thank you - what colour did you get? I was thinking of chestnut but looks quite light on the website.

    Just to go against what others said, I really rate Aspinal. I bought my wedding book from them and it came the following day and was beyootiful. I am about to order a really fabby washbag in a stlye I've looked for absolutely everywhere .

    Am glad I could help?

    I ordered Chestnut but I think the delivery note says tan and it is definitely more my idea of tan than chestnut. Still a nice colour though and I figured it would show up in H's bag better than a black one. I wanted to get him lime green but when I mentioned it (just testing the waters etc) he pulled a face at me!

    Thanks Lady Lucan, I do like the look of the website but to be honest cost is an issue at the moment. I will save the website for a later date though.

    I don't think the green would go down very well here either! Think I will go with chestnut.

    Thanks for all the help.
