Burberry tones down its usual aesthetic with this Pasmore shoulder bag. In fact if I hadn’t spotted the discreet engraving on its buckles, I wouldn’t know it was a Burberry bag at all!
Of course the nova check pattern we’ve come to associate with the British brand is gone, but it’s more than that. The Pasmore also seems to lack the oomph of many other Burberry bags. Its two-toned design is a very gentle interpretation of the current colorblocking trend, and instead of the fashion conscious accents we’re used to the finish is very clean. On one hand I appreciate the lack of clutter, but I also wonder where Burberry’s personality has gone.
I can’t fault its functionality though. The design is very practical, with its well-appointed and spacious main compartment and wide, adjustable shoulder strap. The checkered fabric which lines the interior even gives us a glimpse of the Burberry of old.
The Pasmore is made from high quality materials, and its subtlety should make it very versatile. However I feel Burberry’s identity has been lost, and without it I’m not sure the Pasmore will inspire the passion we’ll need to spend $1125.
