THE BRAND
Anya Hindmarch founded her business in London in 1987 and it has since grown into a global brand. Today, it is as known for its luxury, organisation-obsessed accessories as it is for its groundbreaking work in sustainability and its playful experiential retail concepts. Creativity, modern craftsmanship and personalisation sit at the heart of everything Anya Hindmarch does. Alongside the beautiful seasonal collections which celebrate leather work and impeccable design, the Anya Hindmarch brand includes Anya Hindmarch Bespoke – a line up of beautifully crafted, personalisable designs; the Labelled collection, which grew from Anya’s obsession with organisation and love of labelling – each piece is designed for a specific purpose; ANYA LIFE, the brands playful home and lifestyle collection, a line up of designs to animate your space; and Anya Hindmarch food, delicious and delectable fare with an Anya twist. The brand has also released two hugely successful knitwear collections in collaboration with Uniqlo.
The Village on Pont Street in London’s Chelsea, opened in 2021, is a community of neighbouring stores and a cafe. Ever evolving, it centres around the Village Hall, which hosts innovative concepts, collaborations and exhibitions, all of which are amplified digitally. It is a place for the brand to connect with its customers, to engage with projects it cares about and invite in collaborators. So far, The Village Hall has played host to numerous concepts that include a Peanuts stationery store, the cult Ice Cream Project and a Christmas grotto each year for 2500 children. At the Anya Cafe, a selection of drinks, lunch, cakes and afternoon tea are served with a twist of the brand’s trademark humour.
