–SPECIAL– "BURBERRY" 2012 Orchard bowling bridle nubuck leather bag

Built on the foundation of British tradition, BURBERRY has elevated the functional beauty and craftsmanship symbolized by trench coats into modern luxury, and here we introduce a superb piece that epitomizes the maison’s golden era.

This piece is designated as Orchard Bowling, with an architectural form close to a hexagon layered with the texture of bridle nubuck leather, combining practicality and sculptural beauty simultaneously.

First, the exterior features nubuck with a brushed texture that creates soft shadows, while the edges and handles are made of firm bridle leather, tightening the outline and providing a sense of security that the shape will not easily collapse when held. A leather belt design runs vertically on the front, guiding the eye from top to bottom, making the overall bag look sleek while adding a touch of vintage luggage sophistication.

The opening features a top zip design, with a toothed zipper adding a linear tension, contrasting with the gentle expression of nubuck and leaving a mode-like outline. On the side, a subtle gold logo plate is discreetly placed, suppressing the claim while conveying a sense of quality. The interior is finished with a black jacquard lining woven with the BURBERRY logo at an angle, preventing an overload of visual information and highlighting the texture of the exterior material.

Regarding the production year, the most compelling evidence is the manufacturing date of September 2012 clearly indicated on the certificate tag, and additionally, Orchard was a model symbolically introduced in the Fall/Winter 2012 collection, making this piece highly credible as from late 2012 to Fall/Winter 2012. Furthermore, the use of a sans-serif logo at the time and the material design combining bridle leather and nubuck align with Christopher Bailey’s interpretation of British countryside and vintage luggage, fitting beautifully into the background.

This Orchard is not just a Boston-type bag but a structurally designed piece that creates volume by handling both straight lines and curves simultaneously, making it especially valuable for those who want to refine their everyday look. Even during a day transitioning from work to dinner, the depth of the material suits any scene, and it also makes the wearer’s gestures look elegant.

In terms of styling, pairing it with a tailored jacket and slacks for a clearly defined silhouette will make the architectural shape of this bag stand out even more, and by complementing it with a neat balance of a long coat and slim pants, a British mood naturally emerges. Additionally, adding refined elements such as minimal leather accessories or a high-quality watch completes the atmosphere reminiscent of the PRORSUM era.

Please take this opportunity.
