A realisation of a long held dream
The culmination of 2 years of work and the realisation of our founder Anya’s long held dream, on May 17th we launched the Anya Village. On Pont Street in London a little village of stores opened to house all the ideas we have had over the years. It will be ever evolving and be a place where we pour all of our creative energy and collaborate on the subjects that interest us.
THE VILLAGE | ITOYA
Itoya
Our latest concept store to arrive at the Village Hall is a unique collaboration with the legendary Japanese speciality stationers, Itoya, founded in 1904. This is the first time the Village Hall hosts an external store, and the first time the cult, family-owned Tokyo stationery shop has come to the UK, bringing its beautiful product selection.
THE VILLAGE | ANYA CAFE
Anya Cafe
At the heart of The Village is the new Anya Cafe. Open from 8am-8pm to dine in or for takeaway, it serves breakfast, lunch and early evening drinks. Inspired by the British cafe of old but reimagined with the finest ingredients, and some trademark Anya humour, the Cafe offers a selection of specially created AH cakes and biscuits, designed to eat in or be taken away as gifts.
THE VILLAGE | ANYA LIFE
ANYA LIFE
Introducing the ANYA LIFE flagship store, a permanent space at the Village on Pont Street housing our homeware and lifestyle collection. Aesthetically, the interior reflects the powerful, pared back visual language of the collection – think clean lines, grid details and a monochrome palette, all injected with customary wit.
THE VILLAGE | THE PLASTIC SHOP
The Plastic Shop
Dedicated to Anya’s passion for circularity of materials and reducing plastic going into landfill, the Plastic Shop centres around our ‘I Am A Plastic Bag’ sustainable collection and will be a platform to showcase and collaborate with others working and creating in this field.
THE VILLAGE | THE LABELLED SHOP
The Labelled Shop
Dedicated to the art of organisation and offering the best-selling Labelled collection: a system of cases and bags that are (quite literally) labelled to keep you organised. These will be presented alongside collaborations and workshops exploring the subject of organisation with anon-site embosser also offering personalisation.
THE VILLAGE | THE BESPOKE SHOP
The Bespoke Shop
Our very first Anya Hindmarch Shop that opened on Pont Street in 1996 and was the Anya Hindmarch HQ for the early years of the business. Our Bespoke Shop continues to focus on personalised gifts to pass down the generations that are not about a season but mark a special moment in time.
