Featuring Burberry Collaboration
When it was announced that Daniel Lee would assume the role of Chief Creative Officer at the helm of Burberry, the fashion world buzzed with excitement at the thought of breathing new life into this iconic British brand. With Lee at the helm, his trendsetting and impactful touches have the potential to completely rejuvenate the brand, a transformation that is already beginning to take shape under his creative leadership.
Change breeds transformation, signifying a departure from the past and a fresh perspective on the new. The Burberry Knight Bag is a testament to this, drawing inspiration from one of the brand’s oldest house codes, the Equestrian Knight Design, which dates back to 1901. This bag made its debut on the Burberry Autumn/Winter 2023 runway collection, marking Lee’s first introduction to the brand. The bag represents a fresh take on the brand’s design aesthetic, showcasing a modern yet distinctly Burberry look.
The Details
This bag is characterized by two key features: the bridled horse clip closure on the shoulder strap and the softly structured shape with a foldover front. The bridled horse clip is a nod to the brand’s equestrian heritage, with origins dating back to the introduction of the Equestrian Knight Design. The shoulder strap is adjustable, allowing for versatile styling options, including crossbody wear. The bag’s design also allows for easy transformation into a tote by reattaching the horse clip to the metal hoop.
Medium Knight Bag in Vine
One of the most captivating aspects of this bag is the supple, grainy leather available in a variety of rich colors, each more alluring than the last. The luxurious leather showcases intricate grain detailing, lending an air of sophistication to the bag. The bag’s soft structure maintains its shape while exuding an effortless elegance. Available in small, medium, and large sizes, along with leather and suede options, the bag offers a luxurious selection. I find myself torn between the “vine” green and the exquisite purple “ribbon” colorways.
Large Suede Knight Bag in Cocoa
The addition of long-hair shearling options further enhances the bag’s tactile appeal. The Ready-to-Wear collection complements the bags, embodying Daniel Lee’s modernized vision while paying homage to the brand’s heritage. These pieces are closet essentials, offering versatility and a touch of sophistication. Each bag from the collection strikes a perfect balance between elevated and casual, adding a touch of luxury to any ensemble.
