Burberry Cutout Drawstring Shopper Cough… You don’t want to be seen with this one. No no… Even though I am a Burberry fan, that doesn’t mean I don’t have eyes and a sense of style. I mean, this kind of mash up can never look good in my eyes. I’ve said it already: freshening up a well proven shape and pattern, such as the Burberry check, with some creative play is usually a good idea, but for the love of God, don’t push it over the edge.

Remember how we loved Burberry Metallic Mesh Tote? That’s a good example of how to do it right, this one, on the other hand, is not. You cannot simply take a pattern as delicate and established as the Burrbery check and mix it with shaped cutouts wich show the underlying material… I mean you can, it’s just that I won’t buy it. They made a bag which is neither innovative nor intriguing - I actually find it rather repulsive. The thing that makes it even worse is that the bag is nicely shaped and looks really practical. Somewhere on its way to becoming a fug it had real potential, which unfortunately can’t be recovered anymore, no matter what you do. It’s a real shame because it would look great with the drawstring corseted or loosened.

As for the interior features - it has a zip, a cell and a PDA pocket to help you arrange your essentials.

All in all, wait and I’ll find a better deal for you, and be more than pleased to suggest it…
