I’ll go ahead and say it – I’m highly disappointed by the Anya Hindmarch Cooper Mirror Bottom Bag. Mostly that’s my own fault, though. When I went to its Saks.com page, I thought it said COPPER Mirror Bottom Bag, and I had high hopes that the bottom piece of the bag was going to actually be made out of a piece of metal, and that would have been awesome. I had no idea that I had any desire for a bag made partly out of sheet metal until I realized that I had never seen one before, and then Anya Hindmarch seemed like a genius.
Until I realized that the bottom of the bag was just made out of metallic patent leather, and the word in the title was COOPER not COPPER. And then I was tremendously disappointed. I actually frowned at the bag, and then I said to myself “Self, I’m not going to write about this bag, it tricked me.”
But then I looked again and realized that, hey, it’s kind of a cool bag anyway. They shape is perfect – structured enough to have really clean lines, but still with enough slouch to have the appeal of a hobo. The leather appears to be really thick, the patent on the bottom is probably shiny enough to be used as a mirror, and the interior is lined in delicious cream suede. So many designers cut corners these days, and it looks like Ms. Hindmarch is still make beautiful, discrete, high-quality bags out of obviously fine materials. As such, she deserves our heartfelt appreciation, even if the bag is not actually part metal. Buy through Saks for $1,195.
Absolutely LOVE this. Such a cool. sleek design!
I like this in the cream version quite a bit!
Now if there was actual copper on the bottom, that would be amazing!
this bag is actually navy. I ordered it from saks.com because I’m not crazy about the bottom color and the gold
all the bags Anya makes are wonderful!!! Love the Cooper!
I’m not sure about the metallic bottom color; I’m generally not too fond of metallics. However…the lines and structure of this bag are pure art. I love the hardware and the two-tone, but the real winner is the the fact that Anya has taken the known structure of a hobo and made it fresh and edgy. Fabulous bag…I’m salivating just looking at it.
It is a rather interesting take on a hobo! I quite like it; it’s edgy yet classic, though I hope the patent isn’t really as shiny as you’ve described! lol remember this post, I’m sure they’ll put real metal plated purses out there someday.
I really like this too. So i guess the fashion is metallic colours!
I have this bag in cream and I Love Love Love it – the material at the bottom is actaully still leather but has this wonderful shiny mirror effect and best of all has a zip poket inside, a seperate pocket for your mobile, pocket for lipstick/lipgloss/pen and there is also another concealed pocket to the front of the bag under the clasp – so many desinger bag have no internal pockets and it is impossible to find anything in them point in case Fendi Spy I have one and although I love it takes me ages to find anything in it as there are no internal pockets/divers would it hurt so muhc to have pockets/diverds on the indside of a large bag makes it much more user freindly IMO
