Burberry’s Nova Check might be iconic, but bags featuring this plaid print are starting to look a bit tired to me. So I’m thrilled to see the British designer trying something new with this Leather and Raffia Clutch.
If this is a sign of what Burberry can do when it thinks outside the square, it’s a shame the label doesn’t do it more often! The rich brown woven leather complements the multicolored raffia so beautifully. I’ve never seen the natural fiber looking this sophisticated. The finish reminds me of the kind of cloth we might see at a Marrakesh bazaar, but under Burberry’s hand it’s been turned into something more high class. It might just be the perfect combination of east meets west.
Clutches are notoriously impractical, but this one offers more than most. It’s a bit larger than most purses of this ilk, so we can carry a few more items than usual. The extra space is well supported by open and zippered internal pockets. The only thing we’re really missing is a shoulder strap. That’s no small oversight either, because with it I’m sure this clutch would see more daytime wear.
You’ll want to get as much use from it as you can, because at $1295 it’s far from cheap. However it’s just so stylish that it’s tempting to ignore reason and just indulge!
