Remember the times when you visited your grandma at kampung and she's living in a very traditional way of sitting down on the floor instead of on the sofa. And to prevent the dirt on your butt when you sat, she put out the mat made of pandanus. Do you still remember the way how mat being made? Yes, thru weaving... and that is how I see some of the bags at Burberry Prorsum 2012 show last night. As if they have asked my and your grandma and her friends at kampung to anyam that bag instead. Can't believe that the woven straw mat-lookalike is finally made it cut into mainstream fashion. Right here in this country - especially in Perak - you can actually buy that kind of bags plenty at the souvenir shops nearby. Or at any R&R in Tapah or Kuala Kangsar. But it seem now that, if given some leather trim to it and slap on that Burberry logo; voila, it became high fashion!
Anyway, the other bags also look equally nice with the basket theme. Quite interesting look, from the reinterpretation of the Burberry check in British Green to the herringbone woven jute and fabric bags.
