Anya Hindmarch bespoke in-store design workshop on the 1st
floor of Bond Street boutique feels deliciously surreptitious. I am wearing a dress by Marni, my cashmere
sweater is by Anya Hindmarch, and a handbag – one of the samples of her
made-to-order photo-bags.
Rolls of scrumptious leathers – crimson, orange and cobalt –
stand to attention against one wall. On a big table, which sits in the middle, testers
of canvas fabrics – sand and jade are particularly striking – happily mix with samples
of products, trial sizes of accessories, big scissors and other tools, used by the
craftsmen at work. And yes, you can meet the craftsmen.
Anya Hindmarch Bespoke
was launched in 2009. Anyone can personalise a wallet (it will come with a penny
for good luck!) card case, passport cover, wash bag, keepsake box, photo-book, handbag
etc. with a special message or by using your preferred colours or – my all-time-favourite
– by indulging in carrying your beloved photograph on the front and the back
of your handbag.
Quality craftsmanship and humour had been associated with Anya
Hindmarch designs for the past 25 years – remember the famous `I Am Not a
Plastic Bag`?
In addition to displaying seasonal collections, Anya Hindmarch store at Bond
Street, allows you to put your stamp on her beautifully designed pieces. With
prices starting at just over £100, having your name on your favourite accessory,
rather than hers, has never been easier.
