Anya Hindmarch Turns Fake to Great
After Botkier’s dire attempt to whore itself out to the masses, I assumed the next high-end handbag designer’s “collection” for Target would suck too. What happens when we assume? Someone like Anya Hindmarch obvs comes along and makes asses out of you and me. Sometimes, it’s refreshing to be wrong… but only sometimes.
The Black Python Clutch (at right) doesn’t just look pricier than $19.99; it actually does justice to its high-end inspiration. It appears that some handbag designers are finally taking the bull by the horns and copying themselves with accuracy, instead of letting Forever 21 do it for them.
The Large Gold Shoulder Bag (at right) is - like many Hindmarch for Target items online - out of stock. I’m including it anyway because it further illustrates a quality all too rare among high-end designers: Hindmarch actually gives a shit about her cheapie collection. Pleather or no, her Target stuff boasts unique details characteristic of her pricier products; you know it’s an Anya Hindmarch before you know it’s her Target line. An uber impressive effort, fo sheez.

Kvelling and Kvetching
I totally agree with you about these bags. They are one of the best mass produced designer lines. I love the clutch (bought it in cream). The line totally sold out in both stores near my house in California. The Botkier line sat there looking sad for months. Love your blog. I have been inspired by your thrift store shopping strategies.
