More Anya Hindmarch

I can hardly keep up with the press hits the company sends me. Now even friends of mine have started taking to ripping pages out of magazines when they see celebrities with Anya Hindmarch Bags! (Thank you girls) The fact that they can now spot them even when not credited is a testament to their fashion eyes - or that they read US Weekly and magazines like that much more then I do!

(The color on this photo is so off - don't know why - the bag is actually a beautiful gold-ish basket.)

Anya Hindmarch and Ellen page

We're not big gamblers but we think it's a safe bet that if the Oscars red carpet takes place, nominee Ellen Page will be toting an Anya Hindmarch clutch. The Juno star toted Hindmarch's black patent Louisa clutch to the 7th Annual Hollywood Life Breakthrough of the Year Awards and a Juno screening in New York. Then she opted for a red Maud to hold at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards gala.

Anya Hindmarch yet again in Glamour

I know I risk of sounding like a total fashion suck-up as I realize I post about Anya more then anyone else - but it's hard not to - she is EVERYWHERE in the press these days. The London fashions worlds very own purse darling - here is a preview of her newest collection as featured in Glamour UK- soon to be available at Brick Lane.

I know they are pricey - but the quality, detail and luxury in these bags actually in my humble opinion - makes them worth every dollar. In fact I have seen more expensive bags that looked tacky or were shoddily made - and Anya bags are very high quality! Maybe that is why so many celebs are coveting these bags and why everyone at London Fashion week had them. Let's just say there is NO way I am going to London Fashion Week without one of my own this time - except they are almost sold out at my store! Damn you would think I would grab one right? Well it's hard - all the Anya Fans beat me to them and buy them before I can justify taking it off my shelf and denying someone else the pleasure of owning one. :-)

I leave to start buying in a few weeks and can't wait to see the Fall 08 collection. I don't know what I am more excited about - getting the Spring/Summer collection in the shop in a few weeks or being one of the first to see the Autumn/Winter collection! Maybe this time I will take pictures so my fashionista readers can get a sneak peak!

Award Winning Designer Anya Hindmarch

As if Anya Hindmarch bags weren't fabulous enough - she has been honoured as Designer Brand of the Year! By the way we have ONE of the fantastic bags left that you see above AND it is reduced to $625!

Anya Hindmarch wins Designer Brand Accolade at British Fashion Awards
London 27th November 2007

We are thrilled to announce that Anya Hindmarch was honoured last night at the 2007 British Fashion Awards with the accolade of Designer Brand of the Year.

This year has seen many special projects come to fruition for Anya Hindmarch from designing bags for the Hollywood’s biggest stars at the infamous Vanity Fair OSCAR party to proving the huge impact fashion can have with the launch of I'm Not a Plastic Bag which sold out within hours around the globe. With a newly enhanced website, the opening of two flagship stores in London and a further 16 planned around the globe before March next year, 2008 looks to be equally as exciting for the Anya Hindmarch brand.

The Designer Brand award, presented in recognition of Anya’s achievements throughout the year, marks a significant highlight at the end of an incredible journey in 2007.
Winners were decided by an invited panel of judges made-up of key influencers within the media, retail and creative direction

Anya Hindmarch at Brick Lane

Well, someday I hope to see mention of Brick Lane in the likes of Vogue and GQ magazines, but until then I must be content with seeing mentions or write-ups of the fabulous designers I carry, especially when an actual piece I bought months ago is featured on their glossy pages.

For women interested in fashion these days, you would be hard pressed to pick up a copy of Vogue or Glamour or W magazine here or in the U.K. without reading a mention of the fabulous "It bag" designer, Anya Hindmarch. Recently named the Accessories Designer of the Year" for the 2nd Year running and fresh off the publicity of her 'I am not a Plastic Bag" her handbags have become coveted by celebrities and fashionistas across the globe.

Donna Summer recently bought the "It" bag of the season the "Elrod" at Brick Lane from our fabulous designer-in residence salesman Jordan Cappella!

Our first fall shipment of Anya's beautiful bags has recently arrived at Brick Lane. One of the bags I bought made it onto the pages of U.K. Vogue. Actually Anya Hindmarch bags have been making it onto the pages of so many fashion magazines I could spend all day here telling you about them - but this clutch in particular is a piece worth seeing. The clutch by the way is making a serious comeback as a "must have" in every elegant and fashionable women's wardrobe. While you may say to yourself "but I hardly ever go to fancy dress events, why would I need one when my shoulder bag does the trick?" I answer you in this way. Owning one incredibly beautiful jeweled, or metallic evening clutch is the perfectly simple way to dress up a simple LBD (little black dress). It is the ideal accessory for any evening out, not just for the women who go to premieres, VIP industry events or galas at the Met. While a shoulder bag might feel more practical and reassuring, a clutch bag says elegance no matter what the event. It also forces us to leave home the myriad of things we deem necessary for our day out that normally fill our wonderful carpet bag sized purses to the max. The small space of storage you get in an evening clutch makes it so you must decide what is an absolute necessity therefore lightening our load and our spirits by forcing us to leave behind PDA's, datebooks and full make-up cases. This little clutch is one that can be a timeless addition to your wardrobe, not a seasonal trend of any kind. We currently stock this Broken Mirror Clutch in a fabulously understated yet elegant pewter color.

Below are some shots of various bags from the Fall Collection of Anya Hindmarch. Classic, elegant and beautiful they are made with the highest quality leathers, entirely lined in soft suede with detailing and simplistic yet innovative in design hardware you don't find anywhere else. Phone orders can be taken at Brick Lane by calling 310-392-2525 although remember, we generally only stock one in each design and in the 10 days since they landed in the shop 3 have found happy new owners! Check out some of the photos and keep your eyes peeled when you read your fashion magazines, as you are sure to hear more and more about this fabulous designer I am thrilled to be carrying at Brick Lane in the days to come.
