Anya Hindmarch Toco Raffia Clutch | Fun Summer Striped Bag

Posted on: Feb 4

Anya Hindmarch Toco Raffia Clutch Anya Hindmarch has come a long way in the past few seasons. For a while, I was doubtful that she had much going on as a designer, but she seems to be developing a quirky, feminine style that I'm growing to like. This Toco clutch is the most cheerful bag I've seen in months, and it's definitely a breath of fresh air.

The stripey woven raffia on the Toco has a great chevron pattern that automatically brings to mind cocktails on balmy terraces overlooking the sea. The colorful weave may not work for your winter wardrobe, but come spring, I predict that this color palette will be a major hit. It's also ever-so-slightly muted, so it will be more versatile than ultra-brights would be.

The shape of the Toco is very traditional. It's a simple fold-over shape in a great size for carrying. The bead embellished side tassel is a great touch that adds that quirky flair Hindmarch is becoming known for, not to mention a slight asymmetry that makes the clutch more interesting.

At $475, the Toco isn't exactly cheap for a a small woven bag, but it's not completely overpriced, either.
