Burberry Metallic Mesh Tote

As I said eariler, I dont really have a firm opinion when it comes to Burberry’s check pattern. Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it just doesn’t. I like it better when it’s just a detail, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t go for a check bag. This bag has been out there for some time now, but it’s not one of those you’ve got to post about the exact moment it’s released. At least I think it isn’t.

I like the fact that they stuck with their original tote shape because it was and still is real hit, so it would be suicidial to play around with it. It’s always better to add something new to a well established shape and then if it’s a miss - it’s a miss… But the miss is just that detail, not the whole bag. With this one it’s obvious they were fully convinced that the shape and the check detail can work well with pretty much everything, so they went for metallic trimm and they did it right. Put the new metallic, glittering mesh layer on an old traditional check pattern and you’ve got the perfect combination. As for the removable shoulder strap, in this case, I wouldn’t leave it hanging even as a detail - this bag doesn’t need it. Fresh and chic - what more can you ask?
