Anya Hindmarch “Cooper”

First of all, I would like to state that Cooper looks 10 times better IRL than what you see when you look at its photo. I have been in an Anya Hindmarch store not long ago, and I have to say that all of her bags look much better irl than they do on her official website. I have to critique the photos on the official site and I think they would be much better off if they paid more attention to the photos they release, since the internet has become the main source of information to many of their frequent purchasers. A modern lady is a busy lady, always rushing around and does not have much free time to wander around her fav stores looking for new arrivals. Of course we do visit the stores, it’s not like we do not treat ourselves at all, but also, Anya Hindmarch is not as accesible to everyone, and in those, not so rare cases, the photos found on the website are the only source of info.

Having said all this, I will now discuss the Cooper bag. It is not the most beautiful bag I have seen coming from the spring collections, but it does look adorable. Cooper was not meant to be THE bag of the season, you can tell by the way it was designed and detailed, but it does make a fabulous day bag. I couldn’t imagine one single day activity it would not fit into. It looks much softer irl and it feels very soft as well, which is no surprise since it is made of calf leather. In the description they state the leather feels almost buttery to the touch and that it will only get softer.Cooper is a big bag, but not one of the oversized bags, at least it didn’t look like one to me since it is very well proportioned, if you know what I am getting at. It has one big pocket and a spacious central compartment. I like it when bags have an additional compartment in which you can put the most important things, like a cell phone or something else you want to have at reach at all times. The only two major details are the buckle on the front and the mirrored leather on the bottom of the bag. The mirrored leather is calf hide which is highly polished with a glossy metallic film applied on the surface. You can choose between three following versions of Cooper: caramel with gold mirrored leather and grey and cream leather with silver mirrored leather - my personal fav is the cream one, which I’ve seen in the store, but I also find the grey one very intruiguing, so I think I will be trying them on for at least half an hour before I choose which one to go for.

Eventhough Cooper is not the bag of the season, I want it badly because of its elegant look, practicality and versatility. All in all, I love it and I will have it

PRICE: $1,195.00 @ Net-a-Porter.com
