Isn’t it a smart idea to perforate the leather on the body of this bag to show the Burberry signature check as an underlay? The result is cool and the check is not overwhelming, differentiating it from the usual logo-ed bags, yet still unmistakably Burberry. This is a rare piece and worth investing in at [...]
While the coats are fantastic, the men bags for Burberry Fall/Winter 2010 suffer from attention deprivation disorder. Don’t bags generate big chunk of revenue for Burberry? Seems like the British icon picks outerwear over bags any day.
Burberry’s latest attempt to excite and feminize its black check is not bad. The floral print might not be that obvious and striking but it adds some character to the canvas. This Bowler is priced at GBP595, which is quite reasonable for the size and style.

What a beautiful bag! Although I have to admit that the word ‘Baby’ makes it a little repulsive. Nevertheless, if you could get over that fact and have GBP8,000 to spare for this beauty. It is all good.

The latest British invasion comes in the form of undeniably beautiful clothes, trench, bags and shoes from Burberry. Especially for the last eight years, Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s chief creative officer, has got the world under his spell.
Bailey made a visit to Buckingham Palace last Friday to receive his Member of the Order of the British [...]
Christmas is just about a month away. Can’t believe how fast the year 2009 went by. It seems like nothing much has been accomplished this year and it is almost over. There is no plan to spend Christmas anywhere overseas this year. Some of my friends will be spending the holidays in Japan. I am [...]
The house of Burberry is best known for its trench coats and Christopher Bailey embraces that. Maybe not in countries like Singapore but in Europe and US, trench coats are part of daily life. Burberry might not have projects that involve artists like Takashi Murakami or Richard Prince but when Mr Bailey has a project, it [...]
It is the rainy season in this part of the world now and sometimes it makes me feel like wearing a PVC boot out. Unfortunately that is out of question with my job and the way people dress in general in Singapore. Anyway, it is time to keep your leather and especially suede (God forbid!) [...]
We first featured the Burberry Fall/Winter 2009 runway previews in June 09 and most items are now available in the stores. The Burberry check has been reinvented in many variations and for Fall/Winter 2009, Christopher Bailey has reintepreted it again in military overdyed print which makes it come across tougher and non-pretentious. Featured here are [...]
Finally i visited ION Orchard yesterday and while the interior design and arrangement of the mall is pretty much a let-down mainly due to its small walking space and big crowds, the shops are exciting and some are long due to arrive in Singapore. Taking the mall front are Prada, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Dolce & [...]
Never before in Singapore a shopping mall opening attracted so much interest from international shoppers, media and brand names. Then again, this is the best thing that has happened to Orchard Road over the past decade. ION Orchard is exactly what Singapore Orchard Road desperately needed to reclaim its status as one of the most [...]
Hello Purseholic
What is the hottest bag to buy at this moment? I use my bags for work and play.

Hi WLL
If you plan to buy only one bag now that lasts you for a few seasons ahead, there are some very good bags to choose from. Unfortunately you did not specify your budget but i [...]
Hi Purseholic
My new job requires me to travel overseas frequently and i am thinking of getting a designer travel bag to keep my important essentials that i refuse to check in. Please give me a few recommendations. I am 6” tall, my budget is not more than $1000. Thanks…

Hi Jared
Congratulations on your new job. [...]
I am still not over the Burberry Bridle collection with Rivets. While the bags are uber glam, the clutch here is uber cool. Besides having all the attributes the bags have, the clutch could be worn on the wrist like a leather bracelet so rocking this would be convinient. The price is a little steep [...]
Many have fallen for the Burberry Bridle bags for its leather’s vintage appeal and the irresistible house check combo but i had not been the one until now. To me, something had always been missing from the design of the collection and while i am never a pro excessive studs and rivets person, i have [...]
