Burberry Warrior Bag

Burberry Warrior Bag

4.23.2008 | by Megs | under: Burberry Handbags

burberry warrior bag Dubbed the “It Bag of Spring 2008″ the Burberry Warrior has created quite the hype. Seen on the arms of countless celebrities (and all over the set of the hit show Gossip Girl), this bag has taken the handbag world by storm. The bag started its journey on the Burberry runway in beige. Christopher Bailey, the Creative Director of Burberry, cited the Luxury Warrior as his inspiration for spring and this can be seen with his metal stud design used on this bag. The Burberry Warrior implements dark silver stud details on top of black leather. The top features a wide panel with drawstring pulls that go through eyelets to secure. The bag will fit snug on your shoulder. I saw this bag and loved it. It is so refreshing to see something different and eclectic from a brand that you begin to know what to expect. This bag was a great addition to a brand that at times has been predictable. Buy through Net A Porter for $3,195.

I tend not to trust things that are often shown on shows like Gossip Girl (although I am a big fan of the show) because I am sure that Burberry is paying a pretty penny to have their bag worn by “manhattans elite” as to draw attention to their products.

Ohh the schemes of marketing…

A totally “out-of-this-world” kinda bag designed by Burberry…so unlike the usual style…where are the checks?

Burberry can do better.

In the UK, Burberry has a pretty bad name and they have been trying to make an effort to clean up their image.

Type “Chav Burberry” on google to find out why.

I’ve never worn Burberry anywhere eversince.

Wow, this is the ugliest bag on earth. I’m sorry to say this but you have HORRIBLE taste. And from what I’ve seen, this is just one of your many atrocious picks. I’m surprised, I thought someone who runs a so-called purse blog would have some semblance of style.

Comment by Vlad on 04/24/2008 at 3:22 pm

You realize that taste is subjective…

hey! megs has awesome taste. if you don’t like her taste, don’t come here!! :mad:

 
Comment by Sasha on 04/24/2008 at 4:17 pm

Am I the only one here who likes the bag? This is actually the first time that I like Burberry bag. So edgy and bold, but not screaming the brand (no checks). I never like the checks.

 
Comment by Lauren on 04/24/2008 at 5:42 pm

Very…masculine. warrior bag? not my taste and plus there are way too many better looking bags that are LESS than 3 grand. Wow these “it” purses keep getting uglier and more expensive!

 
Comment by morgan on 04/24/2008 at 7:46 pm

i really like the top part of the bag.
can we imagine a house check tote with dark brown leather for the wavy top of this bag?
that would be fabulous.

 
Comment by Cat on 04/24/2008 at 8:24 pm

I fell in love with the plain black version of this bag! It is really amazing. As for rude comments about other’s taste…CAN’T STAND THEM!

 
Comment by Mary on 04/24/2008 at 8:45 pm

I’ve never cared for the checks, and while I’m not a fan of this particular bag, it’s good to see they’re branching out.

 
Comment by dierregi on 04/25/2008 at 5:05 am

I like that it does not look like the usual Burberry bag (cannot stand their trademark tartan, seen everywhere from scarves to hats and most of the times not on “It” people :)
I would like it more if it wasn’t that huge (in the photo it looks smaller) and definitely very heavy, with all that hardware.

 
Comment by Brie on 04/26/2008 at 9:29 pm

I have seen this bag and have tried it on and let my tell you that the bag it self is heavy as heck! I felt like my arm was going to come off. But I love this bag though.

 
Comment by jburgh on 04/27/2008 at 10:36 am

Brie - I too tried it on and it must weight 10 pounds empty. I could never carry it, though I am attracted to the metal medallions :smile:

 
Comment by anon. on 04/28/2008 at 3:17 pm

really unattractive.

 
Comment by hal on 04/29/2008 at 1:22 pm

dont really care what the naysayers are saying. This bag is wonderful when you meet it in the ‘flesh’. Its big and roomy, it speaks of a bold girl, edgy girl yet somehow the quality workmanship also speaks about her lineage - she is royalty after all :wink: To thge detractors a birkin is just as heavy, yet people are lugging it around. Its a classic they may say but so is this bag. To Jamie - what rot….Burberry’s by christopher bailey is rockin - enough to garner Bailey an ELLE UK nomination for best creative house director. And he worked at GUCCI under the watchful eye of tom ford…so it says something. AND THIS IS THE PATRONS PURSE BLOG, IF YOU DONT LIKE HER TASTE FIND A BLOG THAT WILL SUIT YOUR TASTE. how disrespectful. I may sometimes disagree with megs but usually the strong reaction ius of the design not her tatste. :evil:

 
Comment by smallpaperbird on 04/29/2008 at 3:52 pm

ugly as sin.

 
Comment by Vicky on 04/29/2008 at 7:44 pm

Not for me. I think the bag is ….. a no no

 
Comment by bryce on 05/05/2008 at 11:17 pm
