Anya Hindmarch’s designs have really expanded in the past two seasons. Her super feminine, cosmopolitan aesthetic has morphed into something slightly edgier and more urban. This stud leather bag combines a sophisticated sensibility with a tough style.
Anya Hindmarch uses great leathers, and she always seems to know which texture to use when. The black leather on this tote has been weathered slightly, but it doesn’t look beat up or broken in. It’s just textured enough to appear a little casual without taking away the dignity of the design.
The style itself is slouchy, but not sloppy, and the bag has a nice rectangular shape that holds its own. Because the studs that trim the sides are rounded off, it takes a little of the edge off the bag, literally and stylistically. Not only do you not have to worry about them snagging on your clothes, but they also aren’t too tough for your average Jane.
At $850, I think this bag is a little overpriced, but not by much. It’s a little lacking in the excitement I look for in an accessory that will cost about a grand once you figure in taxes. Still, it’s got a solid look that can’t really go wrong.
