Burberry Mini Check Tapestry Hobo Bag
2009
The black, tan, and red pattern known as haymarket check or the “Burberry classic check” was first used as a lining for the Burberry trenchcocat in 1924. It was not until 1967 that the Burberry Check, now a registered trademark, was widely used on its own for items including umbrellas, scarves and luggage. The Novacheck was introduced for the younger market, later altered by making it more “exploded” (bigger) and slanted in a diamond or “mitre” pattern. Christopher Bailey debuted the “Housecheck”, a more exploded version of the Novacheck, during the runway show of S/S 06.
This burberry mini hobo bag in check coated canvas embossed with tapestry inspired floral patterns granulated leather trims is $650. There are two small inverted pleats at each side, one fine rolled leather handle with shiny nickel buckle attachments. The base is leather to protect the bag. The top zip closure is easy to put in or out things of the bag. There are two interior patch pockets. This bag with the size of 15″ x 9″ x 2″ with a 9″ drop from top of strap to top of bag is made in Italy.
