Just like the past few seasons, if you saw what you liked, the SS13 looks and accessories can now be Pre-Ordered via the “Runway 2 Reality” service from now until September 26th on Burberry.com. This means that you’d receive your SS13 stuff 3 months before they hit stores! Let’s now focus on the bags!

The Verdict: It’s pretty obvious that Burberry’s key detail on the bags are padlocks, and”It” bag for Spring/Summer 2013, the “Blaze” that seems to be available in every single guise imaginable. While the satin versions are more polished and refined, the the colourful vinyl ones are really fun and make great day bags.  I love playing with colours, and it’s difficult to pick a particular colour that I’d wear because they’re all pretty. It’s a pity that it wouldn’t be safe to be toting transparent bags in Malaysia because if we do, then we’re just asking to be robbed, now, aren’t we? Sigh. Nonetheless, when I look at all of em it feels like I’m spoilt for choice, staring into a box of Crayolas. Argh, Christopher Bailey, why do you do make it so hard for me to choose?

Those of you who watched the Burberry Spring/Summer 2013 Livestream on this blog, thanks so much for watching! If you missed it, don’t worry, you can watch the On-Demand service here.

That aside, I’m sensing a trend. We saw transparent bags at Marc Jacobs SS13, and we’re seeing it at Burberry too. Thoughts?
