Vintage Burberry Haymarket Check Crossbody Bag

This is a vintage Burberry crossbody bag featuring the iconic Haymarket Check pattern, which is characterized by the classic tan background with black, white, and red stripes overlaid with specific knight motifs within the pattern. The bag is constructed from a combination of durable coated canvas and smooth black leather trim along the top, piping, and central logo patch. A prominent oval leather patch at the center front features the Burberry equestrian knight logo in a gold-tone debossed finish. The bag has a rectangular, slightly rounded silhouette with a top zipper closure and features gold-tone hardware, including the side D-rings for a strap attachment. Regarding condition, the bag shows significant visible wear and damage. There are prominent brownish and red stains appearing as smears or spills on the front canvas surface, particularly on the lower left and upper right sections. The black leather trim exhibits some scuffing and softening consistent with age, and the overall shape appears slightly collapsed from use. Based on the design and logo style, this piece likely dates from the late 1980s to the 1990s. The craftsmanship is indicative of luxury production, though the current structural integrity and aesthetic value are compromised by the heavy staining which may be difficult to remove without damaging the canvas.
