Burberry Raffia Shopper

I’ve added a lot of compliment on Burberry for their most recent collection and today, I’d like to take just a little bit of it back. A whole lot of their stuff? Truly excellent. The Burberry Raffia Shopper? Not close to as good.
What I can’t determine, though, is if the handbag itself is undesirable or if this is just an epically bad option of color and texture combination. The bag, of course is made out of raffia straw. But whenever you dye it blue-grey and fade it, then fray it around the edges and stitch it together inside a patchwork formation…it just seems like somebody cut up my old jeans. And not inside a great way. The color is definitely what makes it so obvious, but the tan version seems to be like frayed denim from a distance as well. I like the shape and the notion of patchwork raffia, but I believe it’s lacking in execution. Patchwork denim isn’t a good look on anybody, even if it isn’t truly denim. Buy through Nordstrom for $1395.
