The Cinda Bag
I also wanted to jump on the bandwagon and start heaping praise on the new Cinda Bag from the Burberry Prorsum collection.
I've always been a huge fan of Burberry ever since I moved to Boston 5 years ago and noticed that 5 out of every 7 people I walked by on the street was wearing a certain checked scarf. I was so naive--I thought the Gap or some big chain must be having a sale and thats why everyone was wearing them! Eventually I discovered the truth and started peeking in the windows of the Burberry store on Newbury Street. Sometimes I would even go in, just to touch all the pretty plaid bags and scarfs. A few years later Stan got me a lovely scarf for out first Valentine's Day, and I was hooked. Last Christmas I bought myself a pair of Rain boots that I use to splash through puddles.
Back to the bag, I generally tend to avoid brown bags or shoes (mainly because of the always wearing black thing) but I think this rich shade of brown could change my mind. The same bag in the check with brown accents is also very nice, especially if you want everyone to know you are carrying a Burberry.
What I really like about this bag it the shape. It is a little slouchy to give it a hobo feel, but it still has a lot of structure to it to look very put together. The details on this bag are key with the dangling brown leather pulls and the braided handle.
Also, don't miss the Navy blue tote and handbag with white piping if you are looking for something a little different. Or if you'd rather be able to pay your rent this month save some bucks and grab the Old Navy version before it is gone from the sale racks.

I love that style in the plaid. Want want want. So expensive! I plan on getting a Coach bag, so it's all cool.

Hmmm... I usually never like the bags at Burberry (or anything else, really) but I must admit this is a nice bag, with an interesting design, and interesting is not a word I usually associate with Burberry.
That said, if you're going to splurge on a 'real' bag, don't go for the obvious logo-fied ones. I think when it comes to design, leather and craftmanship, it doesn't get any better than Balenciaga or Bottega Veneta. I gave myself a balenciaga as a birthday/Christmas gift, and it is so beautiful I have to stop myself from stroking it (at least in public).
