Inspired by the fast pace of NYC life, these new Aspinal bags are made for men on the move
We live in the age of doing it all. Zoom calls from the kitchen, last-minute business trips, a cheeky lunch-hour gym session squeezed between deadlines—today’s man is always on the move, and not just because he has to be. Flexibility is king, and we like to make the most of it, swapping our mundane backdrops for open-plan lounges, with every trip doubling as an adventure. But for those of us in the know, there’s one piece of gear that has to keep up: the perfect bag.
No, men don’t chop and change bags like we do trainers. We want a one-stop-shop—versatile, stylish, built to endure and go with the majority of our wardrobe. Enter Aspinal of London, and its new Hudson collection - featuring the latest contender for your 'one and done' carry-all. Named after New York’s mighty Hudson River, this collection channels the city’s relentless energy and blends it seamlessly with the refined craftsmanship and British luxury the brand is known for. Whether you’re dashing to catch a train at Grand Central or Euston or strolling through leafy Central or Hyde Park, these bags are made to handle it all.
The star of the show has to be the 48 Hour Mount Street Travel Bag. This beauty is the ultimate companion for business trips and impromptu weekend getaways but doesn't have that classic carry on vibe, so you could easily style for everyday if you're lugging enough around. Designed by leather artisans with an eye for both function and finesse, it’s got multiple carrying options to suit your speed—dual top handles for an easy grab-and-go, a detachable strap for over-the-shoulder style, and even a handy trolley strap to hook onto your larger luggage. It's as if someone took your dream bag and made it even more practical.
But don’t sleep on the Hudson Reporter Backpack. Designed for the man who can’t decide between commuting and wandering, it’s equally perfect for a day trip or a daily slog. With its robust construction and timeless design, it’s a must-have for those who demand durability without compromising on style.
So, whether you're hopping on a plane, heading to the office, or simply strolling around your favourite city, these latest do-it-all bags from Aspinal of London are built to handle your life—and look incredible doing it.
