Anya Hindmarch x Boots is a new concept store, now open at The Village Hall in London’s Pont Street, and this destination is as much for fans of both brands as it is for design enthusiasts, who can appreciate the design's classic apothecary influences. From the street, the pop-up welcomes visitors with arched wooden windows and 70s-inspired signage, while the interior references "the Boots stores of yesteryear" with Anya Hindmarch's signature stamp.
In-store, shoppers will find a limited-edition Anya Hindmarch x Boots everyday essentials range, with "‘Anya-ized" toiletry items like crisp white packaging for bar soap, hand wash and foot cream adorned with whimsical sets of eyes, each designed to bring a little more joy to daily life.
