I’ve been browsing FARFETCH lately (don’t judge, a girl’s gotta dream), and they’ve got a pretty decent selection. The thing about Burberry, though, is that it’s like… quintessentially British. Think comfy, kinda stuffy in the best way possible, and probably ready for a sudden rain shower at any given moment. Which, let’s be real, is pretty much accurate for most days in the UK.
The leather they use, it’s supposed to be soft. Like, buttery soft. And mixed with some tough cotton canvas, which I guess is for practicality? I dunno, maybe you wanna chuck a brick in your Burberry tote, who am I to judge? They’ve got those classic tote bags. You know, the ones you could probably fit a small child in? Good for groceries, good for hiding your secret stash of chocolate, good for, well, *everything*.
Then there’s the whole crossbody thing. Burberry’s got a bunch, apparently. Leather satchels, bucket bags, bowling bags… honestly, it kinda sounds like a mixed bag of sports equipment. *But fancy*. Like, “I’m gonna play cricket, but make it fashion” kinda vibe. I saw something about “British motifs” too. I hope they don’t mean like, corgis plastered all over the things. Although, tbh, a corgi-print Burberry bag? Lowkey kinda genius.
And then, oh dear Lord, the Burberry Check. It’s *everywhere*. Beige, birch brown, olive green… it’s a pattern that screams “I’m posh, but I also spend way too much money on artisanal toast.” It’s iconic, though, I gotta give ’em that. You see that check, you know it’s Burberry. Period.
I will say, some of the descriptions are kinda vague. Like, “archive-inspired”? Okay, cool, but what archive? My grandma’s attic? Queen Victoria’s handbag collection? Gimme some details, people!
