£295 Anya Hindmarch “Everything” Pouch Bag - should I get it?

I’m looking for something that will hold phone, cards, keys and sunglasses. I want to be able to wear a cotton dress and not need a coat or cardigan, just take this with me. I like that it holds sunglasses and that the bag is see through, so that I don’t have to take the phone in and out a lot, I use contactless and Face ID for travel. But it costs quite a lot!

Can someone tell me if they have it or are a fan of AH and recommend it? It’s sold out on the AH website so I assume it’s popular.

Has anyone seen similar? I saw this for £45 on The White company website but it’s not clear if you can see the phone through the back.

Other ones I like to give an idea:

Metier Minimalist Double metier.com/products/minimalist-double-glossy-calfskin-forest-green it holds sunglasses and though it isn’t see through, phone would be easy to get in and out, no zip. Very expensive so no way I’d be getting this one.

Godi Phone bag www.godi.uk/products/copy-of-large-adjustable-phone-bag-in-ice-blue?variant=42835829784743 holds phone, keys and cards, easy to get out, but nowhere for sunglasses

I’m thinking I should just get the AH one as it is exactly what I want. Looking for reassurance it won’t fall apart after 3 years, or that there isn’t something similar out there? I’ve never spent this much on a bag, I’ve usually bought practical everyday leather bags from places like Reiss in the sale, and keep them forever. But I can’t see something like this in the usual high end high street places.

This is good as I’m sure a trip to the AH store and seeing the Vere and the cute bag charms in person would have been very dangerous 🤣

@BakeOffRewatch I think the AH pouch is currently 20% off at Liberty.

Got it today, it’s exactly what I wanted. Face ID works and can use the phone touchscreen through the bag without any issue or delay. It’s also possible to press the button on the side. It’s really lightweight and thin too, the reasons I didn’t want to get a proper bag and preferred the pencil case. Only thing is that I can barely get my phone in with the plastic case on, it’s to do with the length of the zip opening and the thickness of the pouch, so I’ll have to have the case off and I hate the chalky feel of the back of the phone. Easy to get in and out without the case on though. I’ve included another photo of the inside that wasn’t obvious to me from online video and pictures, the card compartments is sewn into the back of the Sunglass holder and the middle zip is empty pocket. Thanks everyone for the help, it meant I was confident getting it in the 20% off offer! I’m sure my toddler will be delighted that she won’t be whacked on the head by my shoulder bag each time I bend down to help her too.

Excellent @BakeOffRewatch Definitely worth getting exactly what you wanted - enjoy using it.

Great! Glad you are happy. Enjoy :)

Queenofnothin · 06/04/2024 11:45

It looks great 👍🏼 enjoy using it! I really wanted it too but that size wasn’t available then and can’t justify it now that I have the Essentials cross-body bag which works perfectly for me. Out of interest, what size is your phone? I have a pro max…

Zuve · 06/04/2024 11:47

I bought a cheap smart watch from amazon and I can use it as a phone so I don't have to take my phone out of my bag

About the same size as yours, ~ 16cm long, 8cm wide and 0.8cm depth. I had a super slim curved edge Samsung before and miss it. But again, another choice that fits in with family life and taking photos and FaceTiming.

I have a fitness watch, it doesn’t do what I want to see on the screen of the phone. Like following a map, or having tickets ready to scan.

This probably has a lot to do with why I don't shop the brand anymore. Along with a few things ending up half price or less in the sale.

Edited

@Ireolu can you tell me more about what goes in the sale please? I want to get the earphone holder in burgundy to match. Wondering if I should wait.

Still very happy with the bag and using it everyday , coupled with the Raise to Wake iPhone function it’s perfect for taking 3yo out and cleaning them up in tiny loos without worrying about losing my stuff 🤣
