WHY HASN'T BURBERRY'S READY-TO-WEAR SUCCESS TRANSLATED TO BETTER BAGS

When I saw the Burberry Heart-Studded Satchel for the first time, I had the same internal monologue that I had while flipping through accessories pictures from the brand’s Spring 2011 runway show. It went something like, Really? That’s it? Christopher Bailey can do wonders with every other segment of the brand, but this is all that us handbag folks get?

Sadly, yes, this is all we get. Despite some accessory success several seasons ago and a few nice-yet-completely-unmemorable bags popping up every few months, Burberry’s handbag efforts have left much to be desired for some time now. I can only hope that the best is yet to come and that Bailey will throw us a bone of some sort in the near future. In the meantime, what in the world does he want us to do with this?

BURBERRY BAGS REVIEW THE CHECK EMBOSSED BAG

The House of  Burberry handbags has always associated their check pattern as a classic and youthful design for their fans of all ages.

The truth is that there exists a love-hate connection towards the globally recognized print, depending on who you’re asking. In the past couple of seasons, the House has added twists to their classic check by means of altering its colors, check size, and textiles to change their accessories looks’ around.

Take for example this modern twist to their check print tote The Burberry Embossed Check Bag.

Striking choice of Raspberry Shorbet against shiny patent leather gives this piece a stunning presentation. The recognizable print is embossed onto the leather, giving this bag a nice contemporary finish.
