Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the designer and businesswoman, Anya Hindmarch.

Given her first handbag by her mother at 16, she knew that her future lay in fashion. At 18 she went to Florence to immerse herself in Italian style, and ended up deep in the world of Florentine leather, getting samples made up of a duffel bag she'd spotted. An initial run of 500 bags sold out. Fast forward 25 years and her eponymous fashion business is globally successful with her designs much sought after.

She's also known for her conscience and designed a canvas tote called "I'm not a plastic bag" as part of an environmental campaign to highlight our over use of plastic bags.

She combines all this with a hectic family life. She met and subsequently married a widower 12 years her senior when she was 25. He had 3 children aged under 5 and they've added a further two to the clan.

She says her life is like "juggling and dancing while having one arm and one eye at the same time".

Kirsty Young本周的弃儿是设计师兼商人Anya Hindmarch。

16岁时，她的母亲给了她第一个手提包，她知道她的未来是在时尚界。18岁时，她去了佛罗伦萨，让自己沉浸在意大利的风格中，并最终深入到佛罗伦萨的皮革世界，得到了她看中的一个帆布包的样品。最初生产的500个包卖光了。25年过去了，她的同名时装业务在全球范围内取得了成功，她的设计备受追捧。

她还以她的良知而闻名，设计了一个名为 "我不是一个塑料袋 "的帆布手提包，作为环保运动的一部分，以强调我们对塑料袋的过度使用。

她将这一切与繁忙的家庭生活结合起来。她在25岁时遇到并随后嫁给了一个比她大12岁的鳏夫。他有3个5岁以下的孩子，他们又为家族增添了两个孩子。

她说她的生活就像 "在拥有一只胳膊和一只眼睛的情况下玩杂耍和跳舞"。
