Just in time for the festive season, Burberry introduces a chic new tote built on two defining materials: the Burberry Check in a cotton-linen blend and grained calf leather. The Bloomsbury Tote thrives on this elegant duality, offering a vibrant patterned side that energises weekends, casual travel and minimalist outfits alike.
Turn it over, however, and the grained calf leather side shifts the mood completely. Here, the tote delivers the formal structure and quiet polish expected of a classic designer carryall. One side leans relaxed and expressive, while the other stays refined and formal, giving you two distinct styles in one.
The Bloomsbury Tote comes in two practical sizes. The mini measures 22 cm by 20 cm and includes a detachable strap for crossbody wear. Meanwhile, the medium measures 37.5 cm by 30 cm, with elongated handles that slip easily over the shoulder. Though the latter lacks a detachable strap, it comes with a removable press-stud pouch for organisation.
Colour options for both sizes span Black/Calico Beige, Ginger Orange/Gingerbread Brown, Peat Brown/Sand Beige and Soap Beige/Light Beige. Two lively hues suit the festive season, while two neutrals remain timeless beyond it. Each also proudly displays the leather-and-metal Knight stamp, an archival emblem dating to the 1980s.
The two-in-one mini and medium Bloomsbury Totes retail at SGD2390 and SGD2990 respectively. They are available at Burberry boutiques in Marina Bay Sands, Paragon and Wisma Atria.
