Anya Hindmarch is a relatively new designer, and as such she has been kind of inconsistent. Her designs have run the gamut from urban perfection to overly designed, over-frilled confections, but what she’s really good at is making simple, downtown basics like this one. The Keaton is exactly the kind of bag that brought her name into the limelight.
The buffed and textured navy leather on this bag is understated and ideal for pairing with a lot of different daytime styles. The black and pale gold clasp is really interesting, a little work of art its on. It integrates perfectly with the rest of the bag, and creates a centerpiece to the geometric seam patterns.
The petite size if this bag is a breath of fresh air in a world of over-sized totes. I’m tired of seeing women weighed down by their belongings. I’d much rather see them flitting about with this sassy little number slung across their body.
Even though I love the small size, it is a little limiting. Which would be fine, I think, if the bag didn’t come with a $595 price tag. It’s just a little much for a bag that’s not so much.
