Anya Hindmarch’s new handbags are must-haves

SINGAPORE (Jan 28): Anya Hindmarch’s Shoelace Tote and Nevis Tote from its Spring/Summer 2019 collection are bags that will jazz up any outfit. The Shoelace Tote is one for the corporate warrior, as it has an internal pocket to store your phone, a zipped compartment for your important items as well as credit card slots. It comes in three shades — black, marine and tan, with a contrasting shade for the shoulder strap. A lot of thought has gone into the shoelace detail — it is cross-stitched by hand and meant to hang, not tied. If a bold shade is what you desire, then the Nevis Tote in bright red is the bag for you. It has a zip closure to keep your cards safe within an internal leather card holder. You can also personalise your tote with some cute bag charms.
