Though, Asprey’s latest Private Collection cannot be literally categorized as jewelry, the bejeweled handbags from this collection definitely make unique investment pieces.

Based on the three iconic Asprey designs, the 167, the Morgan Day bag and the ultra-classic 1781, these bags are available in mini and large sizes.

And to protect it just like a piece of jewelry, each one is presented in a velvet-lined, calf leather case complete with a customized kid suede pillow to maintain the handbag’s shape when not in use.

Akin to jewelry pieces, the bags are also individually displayed, each making its unique statement. It is reported that the recently unveiled private room has already put on display seven bags from Asprey Private Collection. The rest of the collection will be available by September end.
