With the Pound Sterling reaching a new low, Britain has never been more attractive to visit. Think of London and its distinct features such the London cab, the red phone booth, the London Bridge, the Palace, the London eye and of course, Burberry. The 153 years old company has enjoyed rapid growth and enormous success for the past 8 years ever since Christopher Bailey took over the post of Creative Director of the house in 2001 and revamped its image from an old and classic trench coat company to the Brit’s most powerful fashion and luxury house . With the Pound Sterling being more affordable than ever to some other currencies, there has never been a better time to get our hands on a piece of the house’s signature check.

This tote made of Rafia patchworks is unique and classy with the roughness  of the material that gives it an edge to the bag. The Burberry bag collection for the Spring 2009 is pretty interesting and this is one of the more outstanding pieces. The bag is priced at £695 in the UK. Check out Burberry.com for the complete collection. There is one more reason to visit UK this year!
