Anya Hindmarch “Luce Small Clutch”
To tell you the truth, I have been eyeing this one for at least a month. I’ve just figured out that this cutie is not only cute, but highly, and I mean HIGHLY practical. I thought it was beautiful from the moment I first saw it, but the vintage looking clasp always managed to turn me off, eventhough I liked the fact it had two compartments.
So, let’s start with two clasp closure compartments which are spacious enough for you to put all your essentials inside. One of them features a zipped pocket which always comes in handy for the things you want to have accessable without needing to dig through the whole clutch. There is another zipped pocket on the back of the clutch and another one between the compartments, along with credit card slots, secured with a double magnetic closure. I loved this multiple pocket/compartment thing going on here, which is one of the main reasons I am writing this post.
This is definitely not an every day clutch (it’s more of an every night kind of clutch actually 
). As I’ve already said, I find it totally cute. It does not stand out too much, being a bit smaller than most of the clutches this season. It will not pass unnoticed however, I can guarantee that.
At this price, it’s just too good to miss - Gold, perfectly practical, too cute and very affordable - it doesn’t get any batter than that!
SIZE: 9.5″w x 4.5″h x 1″d

Anya Hindmarch “Lulu Clutch”
I have been really tired and not in a good mood today, so I had a total lack of inspiration for writing about anything that doesn’t remind me of having fun and being relaxed. I was drawn to the Lulu clutch because it looks playful, and it looks like a clutch you will carry on a night out which also means fun! Fun, fun, fun… 
The red color had a positive effect on my mood as well, I’m feeling better already.
I got attracted to the red Lulu at first, but I have to say all three versions look stunning and I would have a really hard time picking one of them as the most appealing. All three are made out of soft French Nappa leather, which is basically a guarantee for durability. I really liked the clip clasp, but I do not feel it is practical enough. It looks as if your stuff might easily fall out if you do not pay attention when you are opening the clutch. However, I like Lulu clutch so much I will overlook that detail. The interior is suede lined and featured with a patch pocket and the Anya Hindmarch logo.
I just love the line I read in the style notes on the official site - “So chic you’ll find any excuse to use it!”, and I couldn’t agree more. I would carry it anywhere, literaly anywhere. The more I look at Lulu the more I want it. What is funny is that I planned on writing a post about another Anya Hindmarch clutch, but when I saw the red Lulu there was nothing that could stop me from ditching the original clutch I had in mind. The shiny python and the wooden details on the top just blew me away. Not to mention the amazing colors this bag comes in… I really do feel better now!

Anya Hindmarch “Fashion Week Totes”
Anya Hindmarch is bursting with creativity and I am loving it! This is what distinguishes her from other designers, she always appears to be thinking outside of the box, without exception. These totes reminded me of the “I am not a plastic bag”, which reflects the unique and intelligent approach she takes - she is definitely not your usual designer.
As much as I was pleasantly surprised to see this tote, it didn’t hit me as something unusual for Anya’s designs. There are three white canvas totes with graphics from the Tokyo, New York and Paris fashion shows. As suggested on the official site, they make perfect beach bags. I found the white canvas and the brown leather mix very relaxing, a perfect match for a sunny day by the sea.
Anyhow, having an interior zipped pocket and a zip top closure is really practical for beach bags. I know I am always carrying lots of things like my cell phone, money (I rarely carry my wallet), sunglasses and what not to the beach and I really do not feel like digging through my bag every time I need something I have inside. I really need at least one pocket inside my beach bag. Anyhow, it is a wonderful bag I would love carrying to the beach, and if you consider it’s price, I do not think there is much to dwell on..
PRICE: £45.00 @ AnyaHindmarch.com

Anya Hindmarch “Be A Bag”
The Be a Bag is available for purchase again! It is a really easy way to make an unique bag which noone else will have. The whole process is very exhausting and time consuming. First you are faced with picking the shape of the bag you like the most and pick the color of the bag - stress levels are very high in this step, so make sure you take breaks regularly. Then you have to, imagine this, pick a picture you would like to have on your bag. And then, you have to send it to Anya Hindmarch… I really do not know how anyone could find their way around this complicated set of tasks Just kidding, it’s as simple as it gets ;D
There is a tool available on the official site which allows you to change the size of your image or crop it and use only a part of it on the bag. You can also choose whether you would like to have a picture on both the front and the back of the bag or only the front. I think having a pic on both sides of the bag would be just a bit too much.. The front is just fine.
You can choose from various shapes and sizes to match your desires. Most of these bags are made of silk satin, only the Shopper and Weekender totes are made of canvas. All bags are featured with a tab closure and an internal zip pocket.

Anya Hindmarch Valentine’s Day Gifts
I have already written a post about Anya Hindmarch’s Loose Pockets and you know how much I loved them! With Valentine’s Days approaching, I suggest you start sending subtle hints about these cuties a perfect gift for anyone not looking to spend a small fortune. All you guys who are reading this, this is a much better present than a teddy bear holding a big red heart, trust me, I know what I’m talking about :).
See, I do not expect to get something huge/expensive on Valentine’s day nor would I like to get it either. It always seemed to me that something small, cute, but still useful, is the perfect way to go when it comes to this particular occasion. ( Along with the essential big bouquet of roses. )
Since the last post about Loose Pockets, there has been another color introduced - bronze, which actually appears to be quite dark, if you judge by the photos displayed on the official website. I like it because it is, apart from silver, the most neutral color available, and easiest to match to an everyday outfit. Another newsflash is the fact that you can have a personal message inscribed, up to 20 characters long, which would make this a truly unique gift. Although the price of the inscritpion is £50, only £10 less than the price of the product itself, I still feel it would make a big difference if you went for this option.
There is another thing that caught my attention, since I have been on a lookout for Valentine’s day presents, and it is the Roland purse. It is in bright red, made of bow embroidered calf leather, featuring twin pockets and adorable short tassles on the zip pulls. Since it is red, it would also make a nice, useful and cute present It looks more feminine than Loose pockets, but if I had to choose between these two I would probably go for the Loose pocket. I did say IF I had to choose… I wouldn’t mind having both
On the official website, there are a few items recomended as gifts for your special someone. They call them, as shown above, from left: Golden Couple, Perfect Partners and Attention Seekers. Eventhough all these gifts kind of fall into the “big” category, except for maybe the Perfect Partners bundle, I cannot say I do not like them. I would however rather have my own mix of these presents, taking the bag from the Attention Seekers bundle and matching it with the Loose Pocket from the Perfect Couple bundle. See, this is the problem, the items in a ceirtain bundle might match, but that does not mean I like all of them equally and would be thrilled to recieve a particular bundle as a gift.
PRICE: Loose Pocket $124.00
Roland twin purse $375.00
Golden Couple bundle £820.00
Perfect Partners bundle £145.00
Attention Seekers bundle £815.00 @ AnyaHindmarch.com

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.
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

Anya Hindmarch “Bird”
Bird comes in two different prints-one is called Alfie and the other Raffie. I seriously do not know which one would I go for. The Raffie print is fabulous and I just love the shade of blue chosen for this print, but Alfie is more intense, the print is also beautful but green was never quite my color.
The bag is made of canvas and has a front zipped pocket with a leather pull that has a logo plate with an image of a dog attached to it. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any more details on Anya Hindmarch official site about this bag. The thing I do know is that this bag is a great accessory during the day and that it’s large enough to endure any spontaneous shopping spree, as mentioned on the official site.
SIZE: 11,8″ x 11,4″ x 6″

Anya Hindmarch “Fitzgerald”
Wow! I seriously do not know where to start. Wow! Look, you can send a buy-me-this-for-Christmas hint! How useful is that? I’d say very, very useful! I adore just about every single thing about this bag! Usually, you would find some little detail you would like to change on a bag, but not in this case. Definitely not in this case.
I think it’s about time I start actually writing about the bag, not my feelings for it. This Anya Hindmarch plaited calf leather shoulder bag is completely hand woven, including the handles. It takes up to 46 hours of meticulous dedication to make each bag. No wonder it looks so fabulous! This exclusive design features the Anya Hindmarch logo on the front, made out of the same material as the rest of the bag so it isn’t as noticable as you may think. The bag features draw cord colsure with tassles which I particulary liked because it transforms this bag into a ball like shape, making it uniquely beautiful. The interior is featured with suede lining and a zipped pocket. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information on what material is the featured hardware made of.
Fitzgerald comes in three colours - navy, black and metallic in pewter. I personally liked the navy Fitzgerald best, and I would definitely go for that colour, but on the other hand, I don’t think I could carry it no matter what outfit I decide to wear. The black and metallic versions pretty much go along with any outfit you choose, so if you are not head over heels with navy Fitzgerald, I suggest you choose one of these, more practical colours.

Anya Hindmarch “Loose Pocket”
The thing I love about Anya Hindmarch’s work is the uniqueness and the “must have” factor she manages to achieve using inovative details. That is the thing that distinguises her from all other designers and the thing that makes you to WANT her product. A pocket would normally be on the bottom of your shopping list, after you have already found the new bag for this season. But “Loose pocket” is something I would put on top of that list.
“Loose pocket” is made of soft calf leather covered with a thin layer of metallic film to achieve the metallic look. The front of the pocket features an embossed logo and an embossed funny saying. This caption is the thing that instantly made me WANT this pocket! You can choose from numerous phrases, but I liked these the most: divorce money, face repair kit, girlie stuff, shoe money, cruise fund and receipts London/New York. I found most of them hillarious and they lifted the pocket to a higher level.
“Loose pockets” also feature suede lining and zip closures with a dangling pendants. Bottom sides are sewed up and the edging is scalloped which gives the pocket a chic feel.
As recomended on Anya Hindmarch offcial site, you can carry this pocket as a wallet during the day and as a purse at night. Taking versatility and the inovative sayings into account, no wonder “Loose Pocket” made it’s way to the Must Have category on the official Anya Hindmarch site.
“Loose pockets” come in various colors: navy, pewter, gold, vine, pink, silver and bronze. Take your pick! If you do not like the embossed sayings, which I personally think are amazing, there is also a plain version of “Loose pockets”, featurnig only the embossed logo on the front.
SIZE: “Loose pocket” 7″ x 4,5″ x 0,5″ - I would personally go with this size
