When a designer starts straying away from everything that could possibly define them, whether it be a trademark feature or signature print, it is often viewed as a negative thing. But when it comes to Burberry, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. It seems nowadays, the less a Burberry bag looks like a Burberry bag, the better! Take for example the Burberry Leather Dasset Shoulder Bag. The soft leather, the slouchy shape, the simple style… it’s all good! Plus I love the drawstring closure, it helps to emphasize the slouchiness of this bag even further. Yep, this bag looks nothing like your typical Burberry bag, that’s why I like it so much. Oddly enough, this isn’t the first time I have spotted (and written about) a Burberry bag that didn’t look like a Burberry bag either. So kudos to you, Burberry! Keep up the excellent work! Now if any of you bagistas out there are interested in the Burberry Leather Dasset Shoulder Bag, you can pick one up at Saks Fifth Avenue. It measures 17″ x 12″ x 7″, comes with a removable messenger strap, and retails for a whooping $1,495!
