All over a bag???? Gees just keep on reusing your old bags that are more than 2 or 3 years old – maybe not fashionable but when did that matter to the environment….

I think we should call everybody to boycott Anya Hinmarch’s porducts!

What a stupid eco-friendly project?

It is just a branded bag marketing strategy by MISUSING of the word “ENVIROMENTAL”.

Previously I like Anya’s bag designs very much, but from now on, this brand will totally deleted forever from my purchase list.

Hi, just want to rectify the one who submitted the above video, the location is at Anya Hindmarch outlet at Suria KLCC MALAYSIA. Not in Hong Kong.

I am a Malaysian who worked nearby that area. I passed by the outlet yesterday, and it was really crazy. People queued up at earning morning 4.00 a.m. and they shouted when they found out there were only 200 bags available. It is learnt that Malaysia outlet brought in 2,000 bags, but 1,800 bags were reserved and this has caused angry and unhappiness among the shoppers.

I intended to buy one too. However, I found that Anya Hindmarch’s tactics in launching this bag is totally against its aim in protecting environment and ended up in crazy. Shoppers were fighting over this bag and some of them re-sell it on the e-bay at much higher price.
