Usually, my favorite thing about Burberry is its Prorsum line. Its standard collection is just a little stodgy and British for my taste. But this studded plisse tote is making me totally reconsider, with its cutting edge elegance.
The treatment on this black leather is fantastically detailed and textured. It has been pleated and plissed, which means that it has been treated with sodium hydroxide, which creates the fabulous puckering. The subtle and well-placed studding adds extra edginess and a bit of glimmer. The smooth leather handles and sides are sleek and durable touches.
The intriguing shape of this bag is greatly enhanced by the plisse treatment. There is simply nothing else that creates this kind of soft, linear pattern. It almost has the feel of a bowling bag with a feminine touch, and the size is such that it will accommodate a plethora of personal items without becoming terribly unwieldy.
This is a seriously chic designer bag, and while it isn’t a steal at $1,495, it’s not a robbery either.
