News about Anya Hindmarch

When the Duchess of Sussex claimed that she spends her time Googling small and up-and-coming designers to put them in the global spotlight and boost sales, she raised eyebrows amongst royal watchers. While she undoubtedly can be credited with putting the British brand Strathberry on the map, she often chose to wear high-end - and expensive - designer labels such as Givenchy, Dior and Oscar de la Renta on official engagements. And, certainly, she is not the only member of the Royal Family to propel British brands to success: many labels attribute their sales boosts to the royal seal of approval.

Move aside Hermes, Chanel and Prada - because this season's must-have bag is the humble tote. Although these branded shopping bags typically cost under a tenner, that doesn't mean there isn't a hierarchy among fashion fans. Earlier this month, one London-based Reddit user questioned if their tote bag from Daunt Books - a famous bookstore in Marylebone - was still trendy. The anonymous fashion fan wrote: 'After a decade at the top, Daunt Books seems to no longer be the "it bag" of the middle class commuter who wants to show off that they think. What's it been replaced with, though?' The question sparked fierce debate in the forum - with some arguing that the New Yorker's branded bags still reigned supreme while others claimed a hipster bakery bag was now on top. As the debate continues to rage on online, brand expert Nick Ede tells FEMAIL what your tote bag of choice really says about you.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, visited Godmothers in Summerland, located just a few miles from where she lives in Montecito, on September 2. Pictured leaving the store in photos obtained by People magazine , Prince Harry 's wife was seen carrying a £195 leather matchbook keyring by British designer Anya Hindmarch. The cream charm - described on the brand's website as a 'whimsical' addition to any bag or keys - is emblazoned with the phrase 'Take What You Need', while inside the keyring, words such as hugs, love and a smile are embellished on the fabric. Opting for a low-key look, Meghan wore a simple V-neck blue jumper teamed with a large straw sun hat and Ray-Ban sunglasses.

FEMAIL has put together a list of luxurious pencil cases to keep all your desk essentials, including brands such as Kate Spade, Gucci and Anya Hindmarch.

Royal women are frequently in the public spotlight, where their fashion choices are subject to the closest scrutiny. Despite their immense wealth and access to the most high-end of luxury goods, many of them opt to carry more affordable or mid-priced handbags on official engagements. It perhaps reflects a desire to not be seen to be too extravagant at a time when the purse strings are tight for millions of Britons. Meghan Markle's Stratberry East crossbody bag (left) is £455, Zara Tindall's Tusting Mini Holly bag (second from left) is £365; the Princess of Wales' LK Bennett bag (second from left) is £335 and Princess Beatrice's Anya Hindmarsh clutch is £475.

The royals are known for their impeccable fashion sense, seamlessly blending tradition with contemporary style. While their wardrobes often feature high-end pieces, their favourite outfits are hitting the sale with discounts as high as 65 per cent off. Princess Beatrice's 1950s-style Emilia Wickstead dress was originally priced at £2,995 but is now available for £1,200. Zara Tindall's stripy Rebecca Vallance dress was £570 but is now £285. The Duchess of Edinburgh's metallic Suzannah frock was £2,590 but is now just £895. Lady Louise Windsor's Suzannah silk dress was £1,290 and is now £905. Meanwhile Kate's Self Portrait dress that she wore in 2022 was £400 but is now £280. And her sister Pippa's green Me & Em dress was £1,350 but is now £1,015.

Although its not clear if she will make an appearance at Wimbledon this year due to her cancer treatment, the Princess of Wales has always excelled in the fashion stakes at the tournament. Having been a royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, Kate is a regular spectator at the prestigious championships and typically presents the trophy to the men's final winner. Kate has attended Wimbledon every year, apart from in 2013 when she was pregnant with Prince George and in 2020 when it was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. While Kate has been known to wear classic tennis whites, her style has evolved over the years and she now opts for longer dresses, full skirts and bold hues. Notable outfits include the polka dot Alessandra Rich dress at the 2022 event (second from left) and a deluxe mint green Balmain blazer in 2023 (right). In 2019 (left), she opted for Suzannah's iconic 'Flippy Wiggle' dress, while in 2022 the princess went for a vibrant Roksanda outfit.

Zara Tindall continued her reign as the queen of fashion at Royal Ascot this week with a stunning array of outfits. The daughter of Princess Anne consistently hit the mark with her immaculate ensembles, giving her a strong case to be crowned the best-dressed royal. Throughout the week, Zara showcased elegant dresses by renowned designers such as Rebecca Vallance and Laura Green London and bespoke headwear from Sarah Cant. However, these impeccable looks came with a hefty price tag. We can reveal that the royal - who has not returned to Royal Ascot today - has invested nearly £15,000 in her designer outfits. Pictured: Zara on day one in Laura Green's £1,900 dress (left); on day two (centre) in a £995 design by Anna Mason; on day three in Rebecca Valence's £635 cornflower blue dress.

Hoggett took over at the LSE three years ago, becoming the first lesbian boss of the exchange. She is the daughter of Baroness Hale - once Britain's most senior judge - and last weekend told us her 'privileged' upbringing shows there is much more to do for diversity. 'I'm proof we haven't cracked it because I come from a very privileged background.'

The green and black bag measures just seven inches high and five inches wide but despite its tiny size it comes with a hefty price tag of £5,775. The Judith Leiber brass bag has a gold chain strap and is topped with shimmering crystals and is branded with the words 'Exclusively Harrods hot and salty' on one side and 'best fries prize' on the other. But the latest incarnation by the fashion brand has failed to impress shoppers who have been left baffled by its price tag. One shopper at its London store told The Mirror: 'How can a handbag which looks like a box of chips cost almost £6,000?'

It's one of those great British unifiers: that sinking feeling at the supermarket checkout when you realise you've forgotten your reusable shopping bag. Short of making a quick dash home - rarely a realistic option - there's nothing for it but to fork out for yet another 'bag for life'. The trade in these bags, which range in price from 30p for a reusable plastic number to £25 for a designer tote, is now big business for Britain's grocery giants. And - as the Mail can reveal today - behind the boom is an unseemly tale of corporate greed and profiteering, disingenuously presented as a campaign to help save the planet.

Since learning DIY on Youtube, a couple who bought an 'unlivable' London flat has raised the price by turning it into their dream home. Rochelle Taylor-Butcher, 29, and her partner, Angus Ord, 30, a computer scientist, bought their one-bed apartment in Kingston, South London, in March 2023 for £260,000. The 1970s house was in 'disarray' when they first took it in, with mould on walls, a musty carpet, and peeling wallpaper. Despite being novices when they first started the project, the pair were able to build a complete kitchen, sand their own floorboards, and learned how to plumbing thanks to the skills they acquired from watching YouTube videos. Rochelle and Angus say they have already saved nearly £9,000 doing the work themselves, instead of employing tradespeople, and using free and recycled materials wherever possible

This is not the neck-clinging polo neck that Princess Diana wore on the front of Vogue or the second-skin polo neck that became Shiv's everyday uniform in the television series Succession. This is a loose fit, structured polo neck with a wide enough and high enough collar to pull up around your ears.

Hot water bottles, not to mention their numerous and varied designs, have made their way into the fashion hit of 2023. Taking into account the low temperatures and the fact that these items are both utilitarian and fashionable are back in fashion. Not to mention that they are a hit every year. The hot water bottle (HWB) has become so popular that models have even been caught totting them down the runway.

Sophie, 58, of Toronto, looked ecstatic to play around with the latest technology in her role as Patron of Toronto General and Western Hospitals, University Health Network (UHN). The late queen's daughter-in-law opted for a chic brown jacket and matching boots, while sporting a poppy badge pinned to her outfit, looking most fashionable. The Duchess wreaked her blonde tresses in a bun and wore a glam face of make-up, emphasising her eyes with dark mascara. The mother-of-two sported a gold necklace and a matching bracelet, adding a dash of glitz to her look.

On her solo five-day tour of Canada, the Duchess of Edinburgh put on a chic display as she arrived at a hospital in Canada. For a trip to Toronto General Hospital, Sophie, 58, opted for a chic ME+EM floral gown and knee-high boots. The £195 gown featured a fit-and-flare silhouette adorned with the brand's Romantic Floral motif, which is meticulously screen printed by hand. Sophie is presented with a diamond maple leaf pendant by Maison Birks that has been in her personal collection since 2013. And the mother-of-two, who is married to Prince Edward, was in good spirits as she talked to hospital workers.

In burnt caramel, ribbed knits and shearling jackets were cast at Michael Kors. In deep cocoa, fine-knit tube dresses and wide leather belts were paraded at Max Mara. And to be fair, toffee-colored blazers were sent out so many times as to appear school uniform-esque.

Princess Beatrice (pictured) wore a floral ensemble while stepping out of the V&A museum earlier this evening. Before entering the first UK exhibition dedicated to the work of French couturière, the British royal, 35, posed for snaps. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39, (pictured) and his wife Beatrice attended the star-studded celebration. In a private viewing, the parents took an evening off to get a glimpse of the Gabrielle Chanel Fashion Manifesto. Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel's work as well as the evolution of her classic design style that still has precedence over fashion today.

Princess Beatrice seemed to be absorbed in something on her phone while strolling around Chelsea this week in a chic patterned dress. On Thursday, the royal, 35, was seen leaving the exclusive Bluebird Cafe before enjoying the last days of summer in London - even tapping away on her phone. For her day out in Chelsea, the mother-of-one opted for a patterned pink midi dress as well as a beige slip-on trainers.

Do you need a wine bag in your life? You almost did if you bought a bottle of wine en route to a picnic or party and discovered that it wouldn't fit in your handbag. Yes, you could buy a 50p carrier, but rolling up with your Chablis in a plastic bag is not a good look - for you or the planet. The wine bag is the more eco and fashionable option this summer. To be precise, this is not a bag of wine but rather a bag for wine. There's only wine, not much else.

They have the finest designers, jewelry, and stylists that money can buy. However, royal women must negotiate a sartorial minefield whenever they step out in public. Some are no-nonsense habits that have developed over time, while others are simply the result of a monarch's whim. However, they must all be followed. Here are some of the more important royal dos and don'ts, from nail polish guidlines to strict rules on cleavage!

Tesco's Value range's utilitarian stripes were the epitome of cheapness for 20 years. They were so no-nonsense that the supermarket decided to ditch the austere branding for something'softer' - shoppers were hesitant to stick the items in their trolleys. So it was a surprise to see Tesco introduce a new fashion collection this week, emblazoned with none other than its budget blue and white stripes. In the bagging process, there was a discussion of an unexpected commodity. While slinging a can of Tesco Value baked beans into your basket might not be a promising fashion move, Britain's biggest supermarket chain has become something of a muse to designers over the past few years.

On the penultimate day of the British racing event, Princess Beatrice, 34, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi were seated opposite the Prince and Princess of Wales. The royal looked relaxed as she spoke to Kate and William during the Royal Procession wearing an elegant floral ensemble by Monique Lhuillier.

Anya Hindmarch, a high-end bag designer, said that women should be paid more because they have to fork out on their wardrobes and have their hair and nails done. The 55-year-old, who includes Prince of Wales and Taylor Swift among her followers, has admitted that increasing demands on males are making them look good. However, she argued that "I think women should be paid more for the fact that they must... buy more clothes and have their nails done."
