Founded in 1987, Anya Hindmarch’s journey continues from the brand’s first store on London’s Walton Street to the newest New York flagship store. Located on Madison Avenue, this 2,000 sq ft store debuts as Anya’s only outlet to house their mainline as well as bespoke collections.
The latest Manhattan flagship store has come up to replace the brand’s existing outlet on East 60th Street. The interior of this two-storey building has been designed by Ilse Crawford. The store is a juxtaposition of creative retail space for shoppers and workspace for craftsman. Take a flight of stairs to the first floor to find an amalgamation of Georgian cabinetry. This setup reflects the designer’s passion for rendering a contemporary twist to conventional objects.
Clients can dig from the seasonal collections based on the ground floor. Bespoke collections are housed upstairs where British craftsman will be around to create timeless bespoke products. Anya’s vision for the store was that of an artist’s studio: a creative space that brings energy and warmth to the retail experience.
Celebs like Princess Diana, Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, Madonna, Claudia Schiffer, Margaret Thatcher, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Moss, Kate Middleton and Angelina Jolie are just a few to name who have been spotted sporting Anya Hindmarch up their sleeves.
Anya Hindmarch brand is synonymous with beautiful craftsmanship, understated branding and exceptional quality. The products are based on the quality of workmanship, and represent a design philosophy which is: British, humorous and bespoke. The designs are also influenced by Anya’s love for classical architecture.
