It’s weird, right? Like, Burberry used to be *just* trench coats and that iconic plaid. Now it’s… everything? And apparently, some of it’s handmade? That’s kinda cool, actually. You see stuff about “handmade gift, vintage & on-trend clothes, unique jewelry, and more” on Etsy, which makes you wonder, are they actually *Burberry* or are people just, y’know, inspired? There’s a whole lotta “look-alikes” out there, let’s be real.
Then you get these random snippets about “handmade Burberry scarf sale embroidered logo.” So, maybe it’s just the scarves? And maybe the logo is the key? Like, anyone can slap a plaid pattern on something, but that proper embroidery? That’s where the hand-craftsmanship, and the authenticity, maybe comes in.
And then! BAM! Leather handbags, black bags, even Ruby Lyn Coach bags somehow get thrown into the mix. I don’t even get it. I guess, at the end of the day, Burberry is just kinda… aspirational. It’s a brand, and people want to replicate the *vibe*, if that makes any sense?
The new Burberry store in Milan sounds proper fancy, though. “Curation of pieces from the Burberry Spring 2024 and Summer 2024 collections, as well as the recently launched Burberry Classics – designed by Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee.” I mean, you gotta hand it to them, they’re trying to reinvent themselves, keep things fresh, but also hold onto that classic Burberry… thing.
Honestly, I think the “handmade” aspect is probably a niche thing. Like, some artisan somewhere is probably making really, *really* nice leather goods with that little Burberry touch. Or maybe it’s a load of bull and just clever marketing. Who even knows anymore? The internet is a confusing place, especially when it comes to luxury brands and whether what you are buying is the real deal, or just a really good dupe.
