Anya Hindmarch is one designer who was bound to embrace the handsfree trend, as her love of stylish practicality is the stuff of legend. We love what she's done with her iconic Carker style here: the latest member of the family has a slender cross-body strap to keep your hands fully functional as you go about your daily chores with elegance and grace!
But that's not all: new for autumn/winter 2011, Hindmarch has gone back to the sewing kit and got embellishment-happy, with an emphasis on beading and applique. Here, she's added beads to a black calf-hair surface for a sophisticated, textured winter outerwear look. We also love the black enamelling on the logo, which sits on top of the silver snap closure.
