Authentic Burberry Beauty Vintage Check Drawstring Pouch — Brand New

The Burberry check has been doing one job since the 1920s: making something practical look considered. It started as a trench lining, which tells you everything — it was never meant to be seen, and it became the most recognisable pattern in British fashion anyway.

This is that check on a small cotton drawstring pouch, cut on the bias so the lines run diagonally, with navy cords through the top.

At 14 × 13cm it is a pocket-sized thing and should be used as one. A cushion compact and a lipstick. Earrings and a ring when you travel, so nothing ends up loose in a wash bag. Headphones and a charging cable in the front pocket of a tote. Loose change and a key when you want to take a jacket out and nothing else. Medication for a day trip. Dice, plectrums, hair ties — small things that otherwise disappear into the bottom of a bag.

It is also the easiest way to carry a recognisably Burberry object without carrying a Burberry bag, which is a particular kind of appeal. 

Please note: beauty gift-with-purchase items are produced to different standards than Burberry’s retail accessories and may vary slightly in finish, stitching or construction. Styling props shown in the images (cosmetics, compacts, shoulder strap) are not included — the pouch is the only item offered.
