“Burberrys” 80’s-90’s Shadow horse check saddle shoulder bag

Since its founding in 1856, Burberrys has pursued functional beauty rooted in British climates and daily life, building timeless styles including trench coats. From Burberrys, we present a shoulder bag that refines equestrian-culture design with a sense of tasteful elegance.

A saddle-shaped, rounded form paired with hook-style hardware combines the brand’s emblematic check with knight and horse motifs overlaid in matching tones—bringing together quintessential British tradition and a playful spirit in one exquisite piece.

On the beige-based body, check patterns interweave thin red lines across neat black-and-white lines. Above them, a delicate layer of the knight motif is artfully superimposed—revealing itself only when you come closer.

Compared with a typical check bag, the pattern has greater depth. From a distance, it blends naturally as a classic lattice design, and depending on the angle and how the light falls, the shadow horse’s knight figure emerges. This design offers a special charm, allowing you to enjoy the brand’s signature motif in a restrained way.

The body is designed in a saddle shape with smooth curves toward the bottom, while the black trim encircling the outer edge refines the silhouette. At the center of the flap, a vertically elongated black panel is placed; opening and closing is achieved by a rotating hook attached to the tip, which is fastened to the large ring at the bottom—creating a structure reminiscent of horse tack.

The check fabric is also used on the inside. With a clear contrast against the black interior, it is beautifully finished even when opened. Equipped with a zip pocket and open pockets, it is practical for keeping small items organized, and the slim shoulder straps are adjustable in length.

On the inner oval patch, the Burberrys logo—representing the former company name—and a knight illustration bearing the PRORSUM flag are rendered in a gold color. This aligns with specifications from before the brand name was changed to Burberry in 1999, so it is estimated to be a piece from the late 1980s to around the 1990s.

This is especially recommended for those who want to enjoy a touch of personality rather than simply adopting English classic style. While it features the iconic check, it is an exquisite piece with a distinct character that differs from typical models, thanks to the shadow horse and horse-garment–style hardware.

As a styling option, pairing it with a neat trench coat or a wool jacket creates a refined look that reflects the brand’s history. It also brings a gentle elegance when matched with a shirt dress or a long skirt, and when combined with a minimalist set-up, you can enjoy the classic check as a modern accent.

Please take this opportunity.
