Burberry Blues

burberrypos.JPGWe’re back to Burberry again, folks, because I’m more than a little suspicious that quite a few people will have this bag on their Christmas lists.

Going by the rather awkward name of the Prorsum, It’s a nice big roomy purse made of canvas, with creamy-brown leather trimming and handles and brass hardware. Very, very nice.

I think I know what I always find slightly off-putting about Burberry… that signature check has been faked so many times now that even the genuine Burberry purses look like fakes. At least with a fake Fendi or Kate Spade, you can’t really tell what ‘make’ it is from a distance — it could be anything, really.

Burberry, on the other hand, is so distinctive that it’s immediately noticable and, thanks to the tons of fakes, almost common-looking now.

It really is a pity, because the purse itself is top-notch in terms of craftsmanship and care. It’s just the image of the label itself that is slipping somewhat. And that is sad.

Ah, me.
