Over at ShopBop they just added a bunch of handbags, clothing, shoes and accessories to their sale section. out with the old and in with the new.

So when I was browsing the handbag section (ofcourse right?) I spotted the Anya Hindmarch Ivo clutch on sale for a reasonable $206.50. .then I remembered that I just saw this exact same clutch over at netaporter, where it retails for the full $670.

What’s confusing to me, is that the one over at shopbop says the full-retail for that clutch is $295!

How are these two in “Cobalt Blue” clutches different? Seriously if you see any difference at all please let me know. I spent at least 10 minutes going over each image on both sites and they look the same.. and the measurements are almost identical.

Here @ shopbop: (8″ length x 4″ height). Price: $206.50

Here @ net-a-porter: (9″ length x 4″ height ). Price: $670

The Chat: AH ivo for a steal!

Rachel Bilson has been spotted everyone the last couple months with a new bag.. one of the latest sighting — the newly engaged actress Rachel Bilson running errands with her mother Janice Stango (carrying the metallic Anya Hindmarch Neeson Plaited Bag) before stopping by a hospital in Pasadena, California.

Her fabulous red ruched Miu Miu bag is from the Spring / Summer 2009 collection – as seen on the runway and in the amazing Miu Miu advertisement campaign which featured Katie Holmes-Cruise.

Wanna get Rachel Bilson’s new spring beauty? Well, there’s going to be a little wait.. right now the shoulder bag version is available over at net-a-porter for $1,520. It’s only a matter of time before the larger tote becomes available.. net-a-porter will be the first to get it!

There is two words to describe the Anya Hindmarch Ivy Patent Poch: gorgeous and simple. The poch is the ideal item to carry when you don’t feel like carrying much at all, but most bagista’s would probably throw it in a purse and use it as a cosmetic pouch.

The Anya Hindmarch Ivy Patent Poch is very small. The measurements of the poch are 8½”W X 4½”H X ½”D, obviously giving you minimal space to carry much of anything. The most you can carry in the poch is some cash, makeup and maybe a cell phone.

The poch would be a perfect for a night out on the town, or whenever you are making a quick run to a place. Only downfall is in my opinion, is that I would be scared I would leave it somewhere and then it’s gone!

The Poch is available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $295, and I admit that is a bit much for something so tiny. I will admit though that the Anya Hindmarch Ivy Patent Poch is stunning and even the cute little bow featured on the front side gives it that adorable look.

If I had an extra $295 laying around, I’d grab the Anya Hindmarch Ivy Patent Poch in a heart beat!

Disco fever has hit over at Anya Hindmarch headquarters, meet this tribute to the past, the Disco Box Clutch! Anya Hindmarch, known for her bright, bold designs and pretty leather goods presents to us something rather… odd. So here’s a clutch that is not only an essential holder but can also double as a decent-sized mirror for its owner. So a combination of the two most popular metallic’s form this pint-sized box, what do you gals think about this? Personally, I believe this piece should have made its debut… in the 70’s! I apologize to any fans of this clutch, but unless I find this sitting lonely at the clearance section, (that’s with an extremely reduced price tag of course) this glimmery piece won’t be found pictured within my bag collection. This petite accessory measures in at 7” x 4” x 1” and carries a hefty price tag of $460! With that kind of money, I’d rather invest on a handbag, or a more contemporary looking boxed clutch. Perfect for the retro chic, but I think I’ll pass this one up myself.

Love this? If so, you can shop Anya Hindmarch goods over at: *NET-A-PORTER.COM* or the Anya Hindmarch Site

Anya Hindmarch Riva Clutch
IWhat do we know about Anya Hindmarch handbags? When I think of the London-based designer, I think of the mirrored leather handbags that the Anya Hindmarch name is most famous for (Okay, most famous for ASIDE from the “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” Tote). Anyone remember the Perriand Mirror Tote? Metallics are one thing, but that bag was so shiny you could see your reflection in it! But fear not Bag Bliss readers, for I have good news! Anya Hindmarch has a new clutch for Fall 2008. It’s called the Riva Clutch and it’s black with mirrored leather trim. The shiny stuff was used exactly how it should be — as an accent! And personally, I find the clutch to be rather charming. It’s classy and a little bit retro. And the resin turnlock? Cute!

The Anya Hindmarch Riva Clutch can be found over in the Designer Boutique section at Shop Bop. It measures 10.5″ x 6″ x 2.5″, has a suede lining, and retails for $495. In my opinion the price seems a bit steep for what you’re getting. Oh well, I guess not everything about it is good news!

Check it out here: shopbop.com.

Anya Hindmarch Art Tote
Most famous for her “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” canvas shopping totes that debuted in 2007, Anya Hindmarch is a relative newcomer to the world of handbags. Her first handbag store was opened only about 15 years ago, but already her designs have won the hearts of both celebrities (e.g. Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon) and ordinary fashionistas alike. So when I saw this Anya Hindmarch Art Tote over at Shop Bop, I was intrigued. Why? Well, it’s because when I look at this bag, I don’t automatically think Anya Hindmarch. It’s not as whimsical as other bags I have seen by this designer. And, quite frankly, I think that’s a good thing!

For me, the Anya Hindmarch Art Tote is just a nice-looking tote all the way around. The signature quilting (e.g. little bows) is simple and subdued, and yet it maintains the essence of Anya Hindmarch’s style. This bag is versatile with its detachable shoulder strap (just in case you need your hands free) and neutral color. And the interior keeps you organized with its multifunction pockets, pen slot, and key clip. I especially like the idea of the pen slot since I’m always looking for my pen!

The Anya Hindmarch Art Tote is available in Grey or Caramel over at shopbop.com (in the Designer Boutique). It measures 12″ x 14″ x 6″ and it retails for $995.

Angelina Jolie & the Anya Hindmarch Cooper Leather Bag
Miss Angelina Jolie is always a stylish one…whether she is out with the kids, shopping, or at a meeting with the United Nations, she remains stylish and can be seen with the hottest accessories. This mother of four (soon to be 5 or 6?) has a practical style for her busy lifestyle as a mother, actress, and humanitarian.

Angelina has been spotted a few times carrying this Anya Hindmarch Cooper leather tote. This elegant bag is seen here in cream and also comes in gray and caramel. The bag features buttery soft calf leather and a large front pocket, perfect to fit some of those extra necessities, or in Angelina’s case, a clean diaper. This bag is lined with leather metal detailing that gives it a unique and funky look. This bag perfectly accessorizes Angelina’s bright yellow maternity dress. It is neutral enough to match with almost any outfit but funky enough to stand out and truly accessorize your look. It is the perfect bag for a mother like Angelina…it fits all of the necessities and can be taken with you anywhere.

This bag can be found at Anya Hindmarch for $1,195.00.
