The faceted glass clutch bag from Burberry covers all bases above. From the moment we saw it on the Burberry Prorsum autumn/winter 08 catwalk, there was little doubt that if we ever came into contact with it that we'd never let it go.
The clutch comes in a range of rich autumn shades and is decorated with colour complementing Burberry jewellery glass gems. The clothes on the runway were equally as detailed; downy feathers were seen next to hard, edgy buckles and spikes, which elaborated on Burberry's highly successful aesthetic of luxury warrior. We were most definitely spellbound.
