UK leather brand looks to expand into China, Middle East and US
Luxury leather goods company Aspinal of London has hired investment bank Houlihan Lokey to help find a new business partner, with a view to expand its presence in China, the Middle East and the US.

“Aspinal has been consolidating its UK business while at the same time seeding the brand internationally with excellent results,” Aspinal said in a statement. “Starting with two new flagship stores in London and Dubai in 2018, the company is now seeking a financial partner to facilitate the roll out of further flagships with a particular focus on China, the Middle East and the US.”

Aspinal of London was founded in 2001 by Iain Burton, who is the current chairman. Under the creative direction of Mariya Dykalo, the brand makes handbags (pictured), purses, wallets and luxury leather gifts. Currently, Aspinal of London has a presence in the UK, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait.
