We don't need to tell you about how important check prints are to Burberry, but the British heritage label deviates from its usual plaid style with a less-obvious version of the design, as spotlighted by this Lola cross-body bag. Keeping it more subtle, the grid pattern is stitched onto its leather body in tonal thread and features the now-iconic TB moniker in gold-tone metal, stamped in the front. We're draping its polished curb chain strap over our shoulder before heading into the city.
Creators of the wardrobe staple that never goes out of style, Burberry has been a leading voice of fashion innovation since its Basingstoke beginnings in 1856. From the early invention of gabardine to its 1990s fashion re-birth, Burberry has always declared its character in a resolute voice, with an artful approach to heritage style.
