Anya Hindmarch High Line Tote Text Size A A A

“I wanted to get involved with the High Line, because I thoroughly approve of a ‘park in the sky,’ especially one that regenerates an existing structure,” says British fashion designer Anya Hindmarch about the inspiration behind her High Line tote, designed to raise money and awareness for the elevated park that’s scheduled to open in New York City this June. The chic canvas creation, showing a historic image of a freight train on the 75-year old steel structure, was designed to give back to Friends of the High Line, the community group working to maintain the park. It will be gifted to those who join as members of the Founders Circle ($1,500 or more) and will also go on sale, exclusively at Jeffrey (449 West 14th Street, 212-206-3928) and Anya Hindmarch SoHo (115 Greene Street, 212-343-8147), during the launch of the park. “I love the feeling that you are stepping back in time,” says Hindmarch of the unique High Line, which runs along part of Manhattan’s West Side. “There’s a ghostly and beautiful nature of the abandoned rail yard when you are alone up there.”
