ANYA HINDMARCH Mini Eyes backpack
Price: US$1,397.00

Anya Hindmarch’s bags all have character; some figuratively, and others literally, like this shearling backpack. This reminds us of the backpacks we all used to have as kids that have bears and all kinds of stuffed toys attached at the back. The uncoordinated eyes make us swoon in adornment, but its neutral gray color and gold zip make it more suitable for us grown women who want to bring out the kid in us. The soft sheep skin material is just an extra indulgence.

If you thought this was a bear, you’re not the only one. But the significantly more friendly and cute fox face also induces an “aww” reaction that we try hard not to sound. It has an orange leather material worn with the long shoulder strap so it could just sit nicely on your hip. You’re doing yourself a favor for adding a quiet charm to your outfit, but also everyone else’s for letting them see and appreciate such a piece.

Here’s a bag to let you remember the heart cutouts you used to make with colored papers. We all did this, whether for a school project or for our own afternoon entertainment.

The navy blue leather and suede tones it down a bit to still match our more mature personalities.

It’s not everyday that we can walk out of the house with smiley faces or googly eyes attached on our bags.

Nothing beats a delicately stunning detail.
Nostalgia can go both ways: it make you yearn for simpler times or happy in remembering those good days. Without doubt, Anya Hindmarch’s bags incite the latter, but also give you the chance to bring back some particulars from the past. Albeit looking different, in our opinion, they are better.
