It is all a much welcomed and creative change from the safety pins and heavy metal studs we had become accustomed to. It looks like becoming a well-traveled woman of the world suits the Burberry Brit quite nicely.

Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 Collection: Bailey is a Man of His Craft
Come Spring 2012, it is time for the once-preppy and recently toughened Burberry girl to put away her metal-armored and severely spiked bags and embrace a folkloric fairy tale. For his latest collection, Christopher Bailey has sent his Londoner on a worldly adventure into the exotic east, where she developed an appreciation for deep, vivid colors (ones unusual for spring) and artisans’ craftsmanship. From morphed tartan plaid to the hand-crafted weaves, I loved these clutches and totes for their sense of human touch. Heavy on quirky texture and offbeat colors, oversized beaded clutches pack a mean punch. Wild weaves have been partially dipped in panels of python. Organic raffia and teal python have been blended for city-meets-country edge and lightly printed plaid fabric fades beneath elaborately whipstiched and buckled leather.
