Burberry Raffia Patchwork Shopper

Burberry Raffia Shopper
When I get a new bag, I look forward to breaking it in with wear. I also stay cautious of stains, scratches, and water; I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. I own a particular Coach bag that I used for quite some time a couple of years ago, and being made of white cotton, it was simply a dirt magnet. I ignored the flaws of stains and dirt, but pretty soon, I realized it was time to retire it. Nobody wants to carry a bag that looks beyond used or ancient, but over at the House of Burberry, they obviously have a different outlook.

Meet the Burberry Raffia Shopper. It’s distressed, deconstructed, and made of textured raffia swatches. At first, I thought it was reptile skin swatches, but instead, it appears to be small weaves of leather. I admire the artistic concept of the shopper, but other than that, I won’t be running to any Burberry shop to grab this piece. As a brand new bag it already appears in bad condition, I can only imagine how it would look with age. Ladies what’s your input on this Burberry, do you like this?

This isn’t a bag that I would buy, but at the same time I think it’s interesting. Definitely a piece to be admired.

This bag is neat, but it’s really trendy and I’m sure will be out of style within months.

This is crazy. Burberry should stick with classics.

I wouldn’t run out and buy it, but I think it’s a bag that coule
grow on you and you being to understand it. For a certain type
of boho-hippie style, this type of bag would be perfect.

I think the print with this bag looked amazing, it’s just real life I couldn’t image anyone wearing such a bag.

I like it a lot. It’s so vintage. And patches – they are great.
This handbag isn’t luxury or somethink, but I really like this
style.

To be honest at first when I saw this bag I really didn't like it. It just looked like a dirty weathered bag.. but this line is growing on me. (slowly) Love the hats though
