I am not so sure about the tassels but they are everywhere in this season’s Burberry bags so it seems like we have to accept and embrace it. Price of this bag is USD1,495 and this is very rare but I really really do not know whether I like this bag or not at all or something in between. It caught my attention but I just do not know how to feel about it, like for real.

There is something regal and classic in a vintage-inspired way about this beautiful check bag from the house of Burberry. I think this is one of the rare occasions when over-the-top accessorizing on a bag turns out a great end product. I find myself swooning over this bag. Price is USD1,395 at Neiman Marcus.

Burberry has just done something the other designer houses shall follow soon: it included Singapore, which obviously a small market compared to markets like US, Japan and China in its list of online shopping site. Technically, it is not something difficult to implement, especially with Burberry having stores almost everywhere around the world today but the point is, the others might never even consider to do it ever until now. Bailey has always put Burberry at the forefront of incorporating technologies into its marketing and branding and think of this as a small step to outdo the others yet again.
Something caught my eyes on the site and it is this handsome leather bag which is appropriate for both the lunar new year and the Valentine’s day, don’t you think? Excuses aside, I would probably have landed my hands on this baby if I had not just got myself a similar bag from Prada (which I love!!). Price is GBP750 at UK site and SGD2,395. You in Singapore, don’t ask me about the exchange rate. It seems like it was still in year 2008.

Have you watched Harry Potter 7 Part 1? I have to say, as a fan of the book, The Deathly Hallow is certainly by far, the best wide screen interpretation of the book and I can’t wait for the Part 2 to come out in July. Now that the Harry Potter movie franchise is closing to the end, one couldn’t help but wonder whether the starlets in the movies could survive beyond Harry Potter. I am here to tell you that at least Emma Watson will.
Ms Watson went to Brown to study literature so we might not be seeing her much for the next few years but with one more blockbuster movie due for release next year plus “the face of Burberry” on her CV, this starlet is a star in the making. Christopher Bailey made the right choice to invest in Watson as the face of the brand as she surely rejuvenates the already super awesome brand to the next level.
Seen here with her new short hair, which looks great for her, casual outfit, awesome pair of Wayfarer style sunnies, I can’t peel my eyes off that great studded Burberry bag she was carrying. The bag is one of Burberry’s classic items and has been reinterpreted for a few seasons now, the latest being part of the Winter Storm collection. The nylon version is priced at GBP1,095 while the python leather version is at GBP3,000. The bag looks great on Emma and it should on most people too.
Oh, did I say that I think Emma Watson kicks ass in the latest Harry Potter too?

Admittedly, Burberry is being very creative with its classic Equestrian canvas. After matching the canvas with different colors of leather, pleating and twisting the canvas, now they add gold leather trims to form what looks like cables. The result on this hobo bag is pretty good to look at. I think the gold leather and canvas combo somehow brings the classiness of the classic canvas to another level, making it looking new and recharged. The cable knots hobo is available at Bloomingdale’s for USD1,195.

This bag looks more like a Prada than a Burberry, to be honest and it is not a bad sign at all as it means Mr Bailey and team are exploring a wider variety of materials and finishing on their leather goods. Burberry collections have been hits for the past few seasons now and its colorful Spring/Summer 2011 is among the most awaited collection from Milan. I would totally buy this bag. Price is USD1,495 at Saks.
