Anya Hindmarch drops her airs and graces and embraces the warmer weather ahead with this Ipanema clutch.
This purse is a world away from the chic leather purses the British designer is famous for. Its straw and raffia finish looks like something an island artisan might produce. If Anya Hindmarch intended the semi-precious stones to dress up the design she missed the mark. Frankly the polished gems only make the purse look more kitsch.
I don’t mind a kitsch purse, but I don’t want to pay high end designer prices for it. If Anya Hindmarch had cut her bottom line to produce this whimsical accessory I’d appreciate its freshness. However the $595 price tag just seems insulting.
I can’t imagine who’d spend so much money on such a simple purse. It’s definitely sweet, but splurging on it would leave a bad taste in my mouth. If you love the look I suggest scouring gift shops next time you’re at the beach. The purse you find might not have that iconic Anya Hindmarch bow, but you’ll save so much money that you’ll barely miss it!
