After defining its signature jackets for more than four decades, Burberry’s iconic diamond quilt recently found its way onto a new collection of bags. Enter the Burberry Strand, a line of quilted flap bags that fuses timeless heritage with modern sensibility.
Reimagined with a British twist, the classic silhouette features soft, lightweight calfskin with a natural grain that’s treated for a gently aged, textured finish. Topped with hand-painted edges, brushed metal hardware, engraved Burberry lettering and the iconic Knight stamp, an archival motif first seen on Burberry bags from the 1980s, and you’ve got an understated bag with a hint of vintage charm.
Polished looks aside, the Burberry Strand is a thoughtful design for everyday ease and life on the go. Its foldover flap secures with a magnetic closure and opens to reveal a main compartment and interior zip pocket. Comfort and versatility are also key. Thus it features padded leather shoulder tabs and an adjustable chain strap for adaptable crossbody or shoulder wear.
This exciting new style is available in two sizes. Both are effortlessly chic and perfect for everything from off-duty errands to date nights. The medium (SGD3750), which measures 27 cm by 21 cm, comes in three colours: Black, Punnet and Soap. Whereas the small (SGD3350), at 20.5 cm by 16 cm, offers an additional Rose hue.
And for a finishing touch, you can monogram up to three initials inside the flap in your choice of either gold or silver foil. Ready for a Strand that’s uniquely yours? Visit Burberry boutiques locally and online.
