Featuring the Burberry Rocking Horse Bag
Hold my phone, my wallet, my chewing gum, my keys, my back up scrunchie. Complete my look but don’t hijack it. Be there for me, whenever and wherever I need you, but also be sexy, charming, and exquisitely crafted so that I will never fall out of love with you. With all the demands we make of our handbags, no wonder these relationships so rarely stick. But then, when you least expect it, you discover the one. Though in the case of the Rocking Horse, you might find you need more than one. In a different size. Or color. Or check! The equestrian inflected carry-all with its baby b hardware and adjustable strap (thank you Burberry chief creative officer Daniel Lee) is a keeper. A classic. And it promises to turn us all into horse girls. Because as HommeGirls contributing editor Jodie Hill puts it, Rocking Horse Girlies Rock Hard.
