To say that I was critical of the last Burberry Prorsum handbag collection might actually be an understatement; I didn't like the bags at all, and based on your reactions to our review, I wasn't alone. Well, it looks as though Christopher Bailey's accessories crew may have righted the ship in time for Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011 handbags – along with the collection's splendid outwear, most of the handbags that hit the runway were intensely covetable.

I still don't understand why Burberry insists on using its novacheck logo fabric on runway bags instead of relegating it to the regular line as most brands tend to do, but thankfully most of the tasseled satchels and smart, structured clutches were all leather. Burberry showed quite a bit of what appeared to be embossed crocodile as well, giving a collection full of texture yet another layer of visual interest. I would be happy to have every single structured clutch and all of the non-logo satchels from this show in my closet immediately.
