I’m never quite sure what I’m going to get with Anya Hindmarch. She might deliver a kitschy overpriced canvas tote, or she might offer a stylish little leather number. While those canvas bags are starting to bore me, this Bonita purse has made me sit up and take notice.
In a more reserved shade I might have passed the Bonita by, but in this summery teal green I fell hard. Not that the Bonita is without its own charms. The vintage inspired flap design is always a winner, and its vertical seams give it a bit more personality. The shoulder strap is another element with flair; I love the way the mix of leather swatches and golden chain works here to make the strap comfortable and chic.
The Bonita looks to be a good everyday size, but its slender design brings some limitations. You’ll need to pack it carefully, and perhaps even leave some of the items you consider essential behind. It’s not going to look as sophisticated overstuffed after all, so be sure to show some restraint. Do you really need that kitchen sink?
The Bonita is the kind of bag that could set off your evening ensemble or dress up your favorite pair of jeans. We’re not getting a whole lot of bag for our dollar, but I still see value for $950.
