Burberry’s handbags have been amazing these last few seasons. Now that they’re finally getting away from all that plaid overkill they’ve really come out with some amazing designs. The Corded Check Suede Tote Bag ($1,795) that Emma Watson is toting in the Burberry ad pictured above is from the fall/winter 2009 runway show. The tote has alligator leather trims and cord threads woven into the body so there’s a light pattern. I like that the leather handles are only slightly darker than the body of the bag — the light contrasts keeps the tote from being obtrusive despite having a prominently placed pattern. The only drawback is that the bag has an open top (I always get stressed when my bags don’t zip…they’re too many sticky fingers these days).
What do you think about the Corded Check Suede Tote? Snob or Slob?
