Handbag designer Anya Hindmarch received her Member of the Order of the British Empire, which was pinned on by the Queen herself (yes, that Queen) earlier today at Buckingham Palace in London, England. Hindmarch was awarded the MBE for her contribution to the British fashion industry, which is significant, to say the least. Though, we highly doubt she toted her "I'm not a Plastic Bag" canvas carryall -- the design that really put AH on the international fashion map -- for the occasion. The Brit designer describes the recognition as "Such a fantastic honour and a really special experience. It made me feel so proud to be British!" As it should. This kind of blows away having your designs carried on the red carpet or out to the supermarket, no?
