Plaid is one of those classic prints which is rarely on-trend, yet never goes out of style. If your budget won’t accommodate Burberry, you can get a similar look with the Nine West Rory.
This plaid is a lot softer than Burberry’s famous tartan, thanks to the use of muted, complementary tones. The checked fabric body is complemented by synthetic trim. The buckle on the belted accent is a little chunky for my tastes, but at least it gives the Rory a distinctive look.
This is a medium-sized bag, but one that’s nicely organized. A zip pocket and two slip pouches are almost standard for large totes, but it’s a little rarer to see so many compartments in a bag of this size. Nylon is often an underrated lining choice, but it’s a good fit here. Cross body fans tend to be girls on the go, so this easy-clean fabric is ideal.
The regular strap is ideal for over-the-shoulder toting, but the Rory is called a cross-body, so you know that’s not the only option. You can attach the much longer strap for easier all-day carrying. I only wish the original strap was detachable too. In cross-body mode, it dangles aimlessly. Bags with shorter handles can easily get away with this, but that’s not the case here. With a minor adjustment, Nine West could have made this cute cross-body bag just a little bit better.
