Went to the amazing Anya Hindmarch press day today. The biannual event is a London Fashion Week highlight.

A half hour to spend being pampered in the calm oasis of Anya’s world, which this year was a plush carpeted lounge on Sloane Street.

This season I had time to stop for lunch, as well as look at next season’s lust-have collection. I have my eye on the new Anya luggage - so sophisticated, there are even travel cases for your nail polishes and make-up brushes. (Santa if you’re listening!!)

Anyway, I digress. What I really wanted to rave about was the goodie bag. The best of the week by far…a paper bag filled with Anya’s Fashion Fuel, a little bag of nuts and seeds coated in cinnamon and spices.

So delicious… and a crossword puzzle book to keep us occupied on the front row. The perfect pick-me -up package for a long afternoon spent waiting for the shows to start.
