Anya Hindmarch turns the idea of the designer label handbag upside down with her 'branded' bags. She uses familiar brand names for popular products such as Daz, Maltesers, Dairy Milk and Walkers Crisps as the inspiration for her sequinned bags. Hindmarch choses brands with strong visual identitites and a high recognition factor. Selling in the US, the UK and Japan, her designs are also appreciated for their very 'British' humour.
