Burberry “Warrior Bag”

The Warrior bag has caused a lot of buzz, and it is mainily because of it’s sky high price. The price for the gold aligator skin Warrior is £13 000, which has caused quite a few negative reactions. When I first saw it and noticed the price tag, the first thought was:”Waaaait a sec, £13 000 for a bag that you will be able to carry throughout this season but next year, when it isn’t such a hit anymore, you couldn’t use it for anything, thus have another “dust collector” on your hands?? Nooooo…” I have seen many people think the same way I do, but there will definitely be a high demand for the Warrior in the super rich circles - it is expensive and it is limited edition, what else do you need? But for all not-so-super-rich people, purchasing this bag makes no sense, even if they could afford it and never look back. There are, of course, less expensive versions of Warrior so I will focus on those in my post.

I would like to state that Warrior, eventhough it is something new and definitely something different, didn’t quite appeal to me. It strikes me as a bit odd, and I usually love the bags I buy, they sure do not look odd to me. The ones that would appeal to me most would probably be the least expensive version - the one which is in soft leather, and the black version with metal studs, although I am still not sure if I like the metal decorative studs and the cube toggle combination. I am not much of an exotic bags fan, and in this case, I would prefer the non exotic version. There is another version of the Warior - the nova check Warrior, which also caught my attention, but not because I liked it more then the original Warrior, but because of the contrast in the check and the gold toned hardware which I find really cute, yes, thats the word, cute.

The one thing I like about Warrior is the way it’s interior is organized. It has three compartments, out of which the central one is zipped and features a zip and patch pockets, and the compartments on the sides are featured with magnetic top closures. Since it has multiple compartments it is ideal for organizing your essentials, for example, if you are carrying a magazine with you, you can separate it from the rest of the stuff. I know I have a hard time finding things when I carry a magazine with me.

And that’s about all I could say about this line. It certainly did catch my attention, but my verdict is that there are much nicer bags out there.
