Description:

Western Europe, England, ca. late 20th century CE. A vintage Burberrys (Burberry) canvas and red leather tote bag featuring the iconic Haymarket beige check pattern adorned with knight motifs. Accentuated with gold-toned hardware and a circular disc embellishment attached to one handle, this sophisticated bag combines style and function. The interior is lined with beige nylon and includes a zippered side compartment, a main compartment with two slip pockets, and an additional zippered pocket. Notably, as Burberry transitioned from "Burberrys" to "Burberry" in 1999, this bag's branding confirms its creation before the rebranding, adding to its vintage appeal. The Burberrys name is elegantly stamped into the red leather trim on one side. The Haymarket check pattern, originally introduced in the 1920s as a trench coat lining, gained prominence after a Paris boutique inadvertently displayed a trench coat inside out, showcasing the distinctive design. Named after Burberry's first London store on Haymarket, the pattern quickly became synonymous with the brand. Size: 14.75" L x 4" W x 11" H (37.5 cm x 10.2 cm x 27.9 cm)
