New Burberry

*ducks to avoid rotten tomatoes*

Yes, I am going to post another couple of bags.  Look, I said I was sorry.  What more do you want?  My first born?  *mulls over summer vacation around the corner and the kids at home ALL DAY LONG*.  Sure, what time can you pick him up?



So Burberry is a dilemma for me.  Classic Burberry bags, in my neck of the woods (at retail outlet malls) go for a couple of hundred dollars.  You know the ones I'm talking about:



And to me it doesn't make sense to charge $260.00 for these bags since you can get a real one for like $350.00.  Right?  That's just dumb.  So I relayed this to the factory rep and he said the price is a tough one.  Because the factory still needs to make the bag and ship it to me.  The cost ends up being the same for a bag that retails for say, $4,500. 

Once the hate subsides, I will lower the prices on Burberry bags or remove them altogether.  It does not make sense to have them on the site for that price.  I personally would never buy a replica bag if I could get a real one for about $100 more or so.

But having said that, the first bag:



does not retail for a couple of hundred dollars.  That is new Burberry.  Classic.  Refined and so showy.  You know that puppy is Burberry a mile away.  I will be updating the Burberry section soon enough. I find it only attracts certain people.

I sell a lot of Burberry but I find people prefer the Burberry scarves, jackets and coats over the bags.  I think, and I could be wrong here, but I think that that pattern is just a bit too much for most people.  It's either a self conscience thing or it's a "what do I match this with?" thing. 

I know I'd feel funny carrying that bag if I were wearing my usual pin striped suit or summery patterned dress.  I think the lack of versatility hold the bags back.  I also think that if the real bag is somewhat easily attainable, why buy a replica?

Happy Shopping!!
