Burberry Manor Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Burberry is holding an online trunk show at their website through May 26th, so you can pre-order quite a few of their fall selections from the Fall 2006 lineup before they hit shelves. The Manor Bag is one of the available bags. It is made of plush, quilted leather with thick, rolled handles and trim. The handle has an 8-inch drop, so the bag could be tucked under the shoulder if your hands are too full to carry it. It is, however, fairly wide (14 1/2" x 9" x 7") so it is not the ideal shoulder bag as much as it is an excellent, smaller tote. Since even pre-orders will not be out until later this year, you should get it just in time to make good use of it, tucking away a scarf or light pair of gloves to ward off an autumn evening chill. There are plenty of pockets both inside and out and the bag snaps shut with a metallic clasp. It is available in beige (pictured), black and tan. Price: $1,680.
