ANXIETY FOR STATUS

By Benjamen Judd

As much as we loathe that idiot Anne Hathaway and everything she has ever done, which includes The Devil Wears Prada, there is a scene in said moronic film where they discuss the importance of a Marc Jacobs bag as cultural icon and symbol of status. We believe that. And we also believe that she ruined Catwoman.

Status Anxiety is an Australian fashion accessories brand responsible for that awesome leathery smell in over 400 fashion boutiques around Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada and the USA. Every one of their wallets or handbags has a distinctly nonchalant and unassuming demeanour about it and is crafted from the finest leather money can buy (Italian and French if you please). Whilst it’s true the Status Anxiety appeal is broad, we are not for the masses. Which suits us just fine because more than anything we don’t want to be part of the masses.

With a wide range of bags and wallets for both men and women Status Anxiety combine a mixture of functional with quirky details; sleek styling with edgy features. The leather is, as we stated, top notch and butter smooth, dyed using natural vegetable pigments so they will age like a dream.
