PHOTO COURTESY OF BURBERRY
Since its founding in 1856, Burberry has managed to effortlessly toggle between classic and revolutionary in its creation of timeless pieces. Case in point, its new understated Frances bag that is designed to be a functional forever companion.
A nod to the house’s quintessentially British origins, a legacy TB motif defines the creation that’s otherwise free of bells and whistles. The tessellated logo serves as an homage to its founder, Thomas Burberry. Nestling front and top centre, it adds plenty of style points to the sleek, minimalist design.

The Frances’ structured, rectangular silhouette in durable Italian-tanned grained leather elegantly pairs clean lines with curved top handles. This harmonious symmetry makes it a never-fail option that you’ll have with you for years to come.
In terms of function, an open-top magnetic closure keeps your belongings secure. It also features well-appointed interior and exterior pockets that are ideal for stashing those little extras. Finally, a removable leather-wrapped mirror charm for discreet touch-ups on the go seals the deal.
There are three sizes to choose from, starting with the littlest grab-and-go mini. Measuring 27 cm by 20 cm, it can easily fit the daily phone-SLG-keys trifecta. The next size up is the small that stands at 32.5 cm by 24 cm, followed by the medium that offers a spacious 41 cm by 29 cm for a good day out.
And if you prefer to wear your bags over the shoulder or across the body, it’s worth noting that the mini and small Frances come with a removable and adjustable shoulder strap, allowing for multiple ways of wear.
Another cool detail? You also have the option of personalising your bag by adding up to three initials on the mirror charm’s leather sleeve. Pick from three metallic foil colours, gold, red or silver, to make your bag extra special. Best of all, the service is completely free.
The Frances bag comes in a host of classic and seasonal colours/finishes, with prices starting from SGD3890. You just have to decide which size and colour suits you best.
