On the Fall/Winter 2015 Burberry runway, one unusual accessory was paired with nearly every timeless trench, elegant shift dress and lacy frock: the new Burberry backpack.
The Burberry backpack is made of the same durable nylon as its classic trench coats. It comes with the owner's initials stitched in sans-serif gold font on the bag's main pocket, with the additional option of an engraved gold nameplate in the interior of the bag.
Burberry is known for taking one single, versatile item and making it a must-have for fashionable women -- see their remarkable success with the Burberry trench coat, monogrammed poncho and plaid scarf. This year, the British label is aiming to make the Burberry backpack the luxury item that invades every closet. Luckily, this is an accessory most women will be able to get on board with. The Burberry backpack is extremely practical, and really does look great with a huge variety of outfits.
