Burberry is known for its preppy outerwear and iconic plaid scarves. Its Prorsum line is a little bit less traditional, and tends to be hipper and more fashion forward. Unfortunately, this little Avelene clutch doesn’t really show what Prorsum is made of.
Is it my imagination, or does this clutch just look like a pencil case with the Burberry Prorsum logo on it? Let me answer that myself. No, it is not my imagination. It has basically the same measurements as a pencil case, the classic zip top, a little something thrown on the side for decoration …
So, what makes this a clutch and not a pencil case? Perhaps it’s the $375 price tag? I mean, they have to call it a clutch, because who in their right mind would spend that much to keep their pencils safe?
Besides its uncanny resemblance to a back-to-school accessory, this clutch is just not that interesting. The chocolate leather is a fine rich shade, and the whole shebang is nicely made, but I can’t help but shrug my shoulders and think, “Who cares?”
The signature check lining and frayed check tassel will surely attract die-hard Burberry fanatics, but frankly, I can’t see anyone else loving it. It’s a plain brown pen-er, clutch, with a logo on the side. Burberry, you’re going to have to do better than this if you want that iconic plaid to outlast the recession.
