Warning: This Bag Is About to Soar to the Top of Your Summer Wish List

Collapse

My love affair with handbags began at a young age. In middle school, my mom had to peel me away from my computer as I scrolled through pages of designer purses, dreaming of the day I would buy one of my own. Over time, my obsession only grew stronger. With new luxury handbags debuting every season, I’m constantly searching for my next investment. If I’m splurging on a bag, it has to meet my strict criteria: chic, timeless, and durable. Enter the Burberry Rocking Horse Bag. Every part of this piece embodies luxury. The bag is shaped like a horse saddle—a nod to Burberry’s equestrian heritage—and includes Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee’s signature lowercase “b” emblem. The emblem is cleverly engineered to fasten and secure the bag, mixing fashion and function. My favorite detail is the adjustable leather strap, which allows for a transition from a shoulder bag to a crossbody in seconds. What can I say? I’m a sucker for versatility.

And if you’re wondering how to wear the new It bag, I have you covered. L.A.-based model Jasmine Tookes, a Burberry aficionado and my personal fashion icon, took the bag for a spin this summer to give you all the style inspiration you need.

If your vibe this summer is classic, non-fussy, and utterly chic, then this ensemble is for you. A pop of color is always a good idea, and this sunshine-yellow belted dress will bring cheer to even the grayest of skies. And if you get stuck in one of those inevitable summer rain showers, you’re in luck. It wouldn’t be a Burberry outfit without a trench coat—the most iconic of all—and this one is made with lightweight material ideal for warmer weather. The sandals give the tailored nature of the dress a model-off-duty vibe, and the Mini Rocking Horse Bag perfectly complements the look, offering a welcome contrast between the coat’s oversize silhouette and the bag’s petite shape. The gorgeous camel leather of the bag leans into the neutral color palette of the trench and sandals—a seamless trio.

There’s nothing better than a matching set in the summer, and I love how playful this cotton-blend two-piece is. Stamped with the Equestrian Knight Design, it’s instantly recognizable as a Burberry look. The Burberry Check on the hat captures that quintessential British style, but the bucket shape screams “I’m on vacation” in the best way. I appreciate that this Medium Rocking Horse Bag is big enough to carry all my hot-weather essentials—sunscreen, lip balm, and everything in between—whether or not I’m traveling somewhere fabulous.

It’s not summer without a beach outfit, and I just found the best of the best. It’s not every day you find a swimsuit cover-up you can wear out and about, but this knit button-up dress beat the odds. But of course, my favorite part is the addition of the Mini Rocking Horse Bag. If you’re a neutral lover who’s cautious with colors, this bag is the perfect gateway. The forest green gives that pop of color but is still neutral enough to style with a range of shades. I promise it will go with so many pieces in your closet.
