Burberry Small Nylon Packable Tote
You can’t keep a good bag down; in this case, the Burberry Small Nylon Packable Tote. One of my perennial favourites in its price range, I still use mine faithfully at least once a week. It’s perfect for those days when I know I will be outdoors a lot for work; I can pack a lot in its soft nylon body, but don’t need to be extra careful with it. Most importantly, it still looks understated and stylish.
Imagine my surprise when I spotted the petite version on offer at NETPRICE Japan. In a slightly smaller size for the ladies, you can still fit a small laptop or netbook, plus a makeup pouch, wallet and a cardigan or scarf in it (basic necessities according to my girlfriends). In my opinion, it’s great for rolling up in your luggage to bring as a shopping bag while travelling. At just SGD289 each (it is still selling for GBP150 a pop elsewhere), get yours (in Black, Birch or Red) now before they’re all gone!

I fancied this bag from the first time you featured it. Wonder if it’s worth taking the risk with vPost Japan again.
Well, at the end of the day your previous items did arrive in good condition, just be mentally prepared for possible delays (if it happens again that is)… but overall it is still tolerable.
Yeah… the whole experience harks back to the old days of online shopping, when there was a bit more of an element of surprise as to how long the stuff would take to arrive.
ahhh so tempted to get! is it easy purchasing from NETPRICE Japan? ive never tried them before…
I’m tempted on getting 1 too. But kinda lazy to go through the hassle of vPOST Japan. I don’t mind tagging along others if anyone is ordering
u gonna order?
price is cheap… looks cheap too
@pixielogue: i think im gonna order but im using Tenso, you on? quite a hassle, very new to all this haha
Yup. Let me know before ordering k.
yeah probably tonite! i’ll let u know!

i have that! bgt it at approx sgd500 from burberry boutique itself. gosh… this is… ugh!
Did you get the large one instead? I don’t recall the smaller one being so expensive…
definitely not the big one. when it first came out, there were only two sizes. i got the smaller one and it cost approx sgd500. if i remembered correctly, the price actually went up after you had bought yours.
Hmm I see. Thanks for the clarification…
I bought the version that BB is talking about in this post. The petite version for ladies… got it personally from DFS Scottswalk Galleria and I think I paid around S$300, can’t remember the exact figure though…
yes i went to the same place and bought it at S$320ish or so…
you know, i think if you order from the english netprice site, you can only use vpost. i think they partnered with vpost to create the english site. if you wanna use Tenso, i think you have to shop from the japanese netprice site.
@theknees: really? im trying out tenso now but im still a bit lost…
i think so. because when u try to check out at the english Netprice site, they will ask for your billing address. and when they ask for ur shipping address, they only ask for your vpost ID. u can’t key anything else.
but you can use Tenso if you’re shopping from the japanese Netprice site. but everything’s in jap so you gotta translate it yourself.
ahhh i see thanks a lot for the info!

Hi guys,
Just came back from Burberry boutique at Taka. It was actually selling the plain color version for $425 and $525 for the stripe design. However I did not ask if that was the smaller or larger size.
Bagaholicboy, did the larger version you purchase have drawstrings on the side as well?
Yes, they did.
Bagaholicboy,
Do you have any idea how many sizes the Burberry Nylon Tote come with? I know there is a size for the men, and i’m just wondering which one are you using. The petite one or the larger one for the men? Hee, hope to hear from you soon. Meanwhile, take care!
Regards,
Justin C.
If you’re referring to the nylon packable tote there are 3 sizes, and mine is the one in L.
You mean the one for men? is this the one?

Sorry for the trouble!

This is actually a newer design, but size-wise it is the same. Cleaner too, without the hanging tassels.
They still have the older versions with the ‘tassels’ in Singapore, actually. I just saw them at Burberry ION.
Anyway, i am just curious, why isn’t CK Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana included in your ‘Browse By Brand’ tags. Hee. Random quesion but would love to know why! Ha ha!
It’s not intentional, just ran of out space so I choose to devote those tags to brands I blog more often on.
I see.. ‘Cause i would really love to see your reviews on the latest men bags collection from Ck Calvin Klein.
Let me see what I can do about that. Stay tuned!
You’re awesome! Thanks! No worries, your web is under my Top Sites Bookmark list and i am sure i’ve checked it out at least once each day! Love your web so much!
My very excellent mother bought me the small nylon packable tote from Burberry in Bangkok airport. I love it – it’s a lovely soft shade of lilac and so useful for travel. It looks simple but is of high quality and I like how the Burberry check is on the inside. It’s probably quite weather-proof as well.
hi bagaholicboy, do you know how much weight can this tote bag take up to? i’m using it to hold my laptop, but worried that it will break halfway…
Hi BB, i saw the bigger version of these Burberry Nylon Totes around the Burberry Boutiques in Singapore. Are they for men?
Anyway, ha ha, was wondering if it’s a good pick for men looking for something fashionable and durable and with a budget of not more than 800. You think the bigger version of Burberry Nylon Tote is a good pick for me? Or any better choices you know?
Please help me up, BB. I’m kinda new at these and i need guidance. I really appreciate it if you came across my message.
The bigger ones are definitely for men, so no worries there. I think they are fine for work and play, they are also rather durable and affordable as well.
Thank you BB so much! Not sure the price for the big ones though. I heard the small ones are for 425 and with prints ones are for 525 or something like that…
Bagaholicboy! I need your help! I’ve gotten the Burberry Packable Nylon Tote Bag for men. It is similar to this, but without the tassels.
I got it as a gift from my friend, and i am not too sure how much weight can this bag carries. Do you have any idea? Since you owe one yourself… Is it durable? And how much weight can it actually carry?
It is quite sturdy, and should have no problem carrying a full-sized laptop, files and then some.
Thanks! Do you carry those in yours as well? So they’re durable, right?
Yes. As long as you not lugging bricks around it will be fine.
