Burberry has decided to have some fun with its traditional plaid print with this Mini Haymarket Splash Studded Sling Bag.
That name is an awful mouthful, so let me break it down for you. Haymarket is that classic Burberry check we’ve all come to know and love. This time around Burberry has given it a splash of blue color, almost as if it decided to throw some paint or ink around! The splattering gives this purse a little more whimsy than the typical Burberry bag, which I find really endearing. Purists may disagree though!
We all know about studs, and we see them here in the corners of the purse and again on the handles. Personally I think this is overkill. The splashes of blue already made an impact; this hardware simply makes this small bag seem cluttered. And we all know studs are on the way out, so why Burberry chose to add them in such an unimaginative way I’ll never know.
The mini of course refers to that petite stature we’ve already alluded to. If you’ve got a busy day running errands or hitting the mall you’ll find such a small purse liberating, but if you need to carry some serious swag you might need to give this bag a miss.
The Mini Haymarket Splash Studded Sling Bag has its good points and its bad points. Whether you’re willing to fork out $595 for it probably depends on your dedication to Burberry. Despite my love for the Haymarket Splash material, I just can’t see real value here.
