Seems to me, the only way we mere mortals could own a piece of Burberry, is either by buttering up a rich old auntie or maybe consider ‘pre-loved’ Burberry. There is some nice stuff to be had out there if your careful and choosy. After all, if you are going to pay that much for your clothes in the first place, stands to reason your gonna look after them!
However! If that is not for you, there is always the wonderful market of ‘Burberry Replicas’ almost a brand in its own right, (So I am told). Trust me, you would be hard pushed to know the difference! Wait a minute!! Aaarrrhhh I hear all you Burberry lovers say!! But I did say 'hard pushed' not that you would not be able to.
OK? Calm down. Burberry is nice-it is classy and it is British; so go get yourself a piece!
As for me, I think I am off to set up a ‘Second-Hand Burberry clothes shop’ and make myself a fortune.
One hundred and 55yrs!! Is that some kind of record! Or what!! Burberrys, founded in 1856 when a 21-year-oldThomas Burberry, former draper's apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By 1870 the business had established itself by focusing on the development of outdoors attire. In 1880, Burberry introduced in his brand the gabardine, a hardwearing, water-resistant yet breathable fabric, (everyone remembers the Gabardine Mac, surely!) in which the yarn is waterproofed before weaving. Burberry was the original name, but then the company soon switched to using the name Burberrys, after many customers from around the world began calling it Burberrys of London. This name is still visible on many older Burberry products. In 1891, Burberry opened a shop in The Haymarket, London.
The reinvention of the Burberry brand continues in the hands of Christopher Bailey. His latest menswear collection, which showed in Milan yesterday, is all anyone is talking about today. It’s quirky, colourful . http://webstore.com/~branded2011
