Harrods made an almighty pricing error on their website yesterday by selling their collection of Aspinal of London handbags at a fraction of their retail price. It didn't take long for eagle eyed customers to spot the mistake and scores of people quickly took advantage of this pre-Christmas opportunity.

Aspinal of London is a long established English brand with a reputation of producing fine handbags using high quality Italian leathers that command a premium price. However, there were some serious bargains to be had. For instance their Marylebone tote bag usually priced at £950 was on sale for the absolute bargain price of £8.08. Other bargains to be had was a shoulder bag usually priced at £340 was available for only £3.61. Hardly surprising then that they were quickly sold out. 

Of course, Harrods aren't legally bound to honour these sales and it's not known at this stage whether they have despatched any of the items. Anyone who runs an ecommerce site will be all too well aware as to how easy an error like this can happen. 

For those who missed this chance to purchase a high quality Italian leather handbag at a bargain price, do not despair. At Attavanti we constantly offer great knockdown deals on our handmade Italian designer bags in our SALE section.
