Today's POP is Louisa, can anyone say handbag junkie?

Nothing has caused me to double-take for an exceptionally long time… that was until I saw the Studded Top Handle handbag, by Anya Hindmarch for her S/S 2011 collection. What predominantly caught my eye were the stylish leather tassels that doubled as zip ends. Secondly, I noticed the studs. Silver in colour and varied in size. The lower level studs reminded me of ones I had seen earlier in the week on a vintage 77 motorcycle jacket that once belonged to Sid Vicious, yet against the 1960s-esque battered tan leather background, they deliciously melted in to a party-girl-about-town chicness.


As a confessed London-based handbag junkie, I rarely find a handbag that measures up to my requirements. I require a sturdy yet classic handbag that aesthetically makes my heart ache. It is not an accessory, to me it's the centre point of my outfit, a home for my belongings, a fellow traveller… a soul mate?


Anya Hindmarch's S/S 2011 handbag collection is definitely something to invest in. It will definitley be handbags at dawn to get your hands on a timeless classic from this collection.
