London based Bahamian designer Anya Willique utilizes designs that were inspired by her Caribbean heritage and memories from island life to create beautiful and eclectic hand bags that any fashion forward female would be happy to hang on her arm.
The one year old design house has already gained the attention and support of The Royal Prince’s Trust and her bags have been gifted to international recording artist Laura Mvula and the founder of the Mobo Awards Kanya King.
Willique had the opportunity to showcase the brand’s range of luxury and bespoke leather bags and accessories in Fashion’s Finest exhibition space during London Fashion Week, where it received an extremely positive reaction from media, fashion bloggers and the public alike.
When asked about the success of Willique and the year ahead for the brand, Anya states
“As a young, London based Bahamian woman and entrepreneur, I am proud of what Willique and I have achieved in a relatively short space of time. I believe that I am part of a new wave of successful and young black female creatives who represent diversity within the London fashion industry.
Willique is a wonderful marriage of design, my Bahamian heritage and love of British craftsmanship – all lovingly produced in my luxury handbag range Willique. I look forward to the rest of the year, forging ahead with producing more collections and developing my brand.”
