BURBERRY HANDBAGS & PURSES

With cold weather approaching , most of us have started planning our winter wardrobes and maybe even amassing our favorite fall pieces to make sure we get our hands on them before they sell out. Almost all of the stuff I’ve acquired is black or dark grey, which reminds me I need some winter white.

Winter white which is just a warm tone of ivory, but we’ll go with the season-appropriate name  came around as a trend a couple of years ago and never really went away, and it’s a nice alternative to not only the dark colors of fall dressing, but also the outdated rule that one shouldn’t wear white after Labor Day. If any of the people who still subscribe to that notion can look at the Burberry Quilted Patent Tote Bag and tell me truthfully that it wouldn’t be beautiful with a charcoal sweater and dark denim, I’ll be very surprised.

I might normally regard this bag as too simple for me, but the shiny gunmetal hardware has totally won me over. Instead of skewing traditional, as most people probably expect of Burberry Bags, the clean-lined buckle takes on a modern military look that’s as cool as it is unexpected. The bag’s shape is classic, the color is lush and the details are trendy, which is a formula that almost always equals a great bag. Buy through Nordstrom for $1395

 

Burberry always manages to create bags that are functional, which sometimes look really chic and sometimes look really outdated. This Burberry bags probably belongs in the middle since it looks chic yet it also looks a bit behind the times.

We’ve been seeing a lot of this tote from the brand from time to time, which shows Zucca pattern throughout. So those who are not fond of too much branding would more likely not buy this. The thing is, they’ve given this classic a twist, which somehow made it look new. Red star are patterned throughout this burberry handbags and they come in varying sizes as well. I’m not sure if you’ll find it chic, but I really don’t want to stare at it since I’m kind of feeling dizzy with those.

But anyway, to complement, this Burberry Nickie Star Check Tote Bag also has red stitching on the edges. Heritage checks sprinkled with stars in a classic carryall, perfect for all your urban essentials. Double top handles, 7″ drop Top snap closure  Protective metal feet One inside zip pocket Two inside open pockets  Cotton lining 11½”W X 13½”H X 6½”D .

You can surely carry this burberry bag anytime and anywhere and for that, the price tag of $845 should already suffice.

 

Poking around online today I was looking for more information on the Burberry Prorsum Lambton Shearling Messenger Bag which I picked up yesterday. A reader has also commented that it was already available for sale at Burberry Bags US site.

And while I was checking out Burberry’s UK site this popped up. Also from the Fall-Winter 2010 Mens Burberry Prorsum collection, the Burberry Prorsum Lambton Shearling Hobo Bag . Another gorgeous hunk indeed, the hobo does seem to be more manageable than his much larger brother.

For the fall season, the House of Burberry Handbags has stepped into the dark side, or at least half way into the dark side. The British brand has presented to us a mysterious side of them, but not enough to do away completely with their infamous check print. Just check out the Burberry Equestrian Check Ombré Shopper Bag, a piece that’s as interesting as the shadow amongst it. As I come to think of it, has Burberry ever done Ombré and check print on a single piece before?

This blending technique sure is tricky, but I say Burberry Bags did an excellent job in pulling it off. I like the dim and gloomy look of this shopper; it adds an inventive vibe to the bright design of the famous check print. Sure you can carry your classic Burberry bags year-round, but you can’t beat the bright to dark shaded design of this piece, making it the perfect Burberry shopper for the upcoming cooler seasons.

Dark lining throughout the base, protective metal feet, and easy-to-clean check canvas will take you through the wind, rain and snow during the next couple of months, while the roomy dimensions and extra pockets will keep you organized throughout your busy schedule.

This chic shopper carries a $1,1,95 price tag, and is available now through the Burberry Bag Boutique at Nordstrom

 

First impression? Proenza Schouler. No, I am not accusing anyone of plagarism, I just find it remarkably similar to the clutch that I’m still so obsessed over. Not an exact copy, but if I placed both the Burberry Prorsum Armour Stud Sling Bag (shown above) and Proenza Schouler clutch side by side almost anyone would assume they were the same collection. In other words, a good thing; since this just means that Mr Bailey is getting more and more sophisticated.

And for those who have been living under a rock all this while, that’s Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts, totally rocking the Burberry Prorsum Armour Stud Sling Bag. Which brings to mind this popular saying; ‘Behind every successful man, there is a woman’.

Another gorgeous sling bag, this time the Burberry Prorsum Plissé Python Sling Bag. For the uninitiated, the term plissé simply refers to the material being puckered, ruched or folded and in this case, this treatment is applied to the exotic python skin.

Burberry Prorsum Alligator Sling Bag is another one of my personal favourites. Adorned with dome-shaped nail heads and a simple brass buckle clasp, it measures 39 cm by 18 cm. As with all the bags featured in this post, they all come with double straps, of which one is removable.
