Best Burberry bags

Top pick: the Check Medium Reversible Canvas & Leather Tote. It's the most Burberry thing here — the house check on one side, plain leather on the other — so you get two looks from one bag, and it's roomy enough for a laptop, a commute or a weekend. The safest first Burberry if you want one bag that does the most.

Who the others suit:

• Madison Check Canvas & Leather Crossbody — the everyday, hands-free choice; small but the long strap makes it easy to wear all day.
• Small Leather Madison Crossbody — same idea in all-black leather, for anyone who'd rather not wear a logo.
• Note Crossbody — the dressier, more polished option for evenings and dinners.
• Margate Mini Raffia & Leather Shoulder Bag — warm-weather and holiday wear; raffia reads casual, not office.
• Canvas & Leather Tote — a plain, understated carry-all if the check feels like too much.
• Check Canvas & Leather Camera Bag — the fun, compact pick for a phone, cards and keys.
• Mini Check E-Canvas Crossbody — the smallest and lightest, best for travel and nights out.
• Brown Leather Handbag — the most classic, grown-up leather shape of the group.

Skip the pre-loved nylon and the unbranded "Edition 6" listing — no current price, so nothing to judge them on.
