Burberry

Today, I am going to share about  BURBERRY. It is a brand that I suppose all of us know of. Its been a high sort after brand that most of us would want to own.

In my opinion Burberry is a very classic and classy brand that has many wonderful products, be it, bags, apparel or wallets. You name it, they have it. It is well kown for its trademark check pattern found in most of its products. 

Actually Burberry became really famous for its iconic trench coat which was invented by its founder- Thomas Burberry. 

It is a more affordable brand compared to hermes or LV, though it may still seem a little pricey, but its well worth it. If given a chance, I would want to own a Burberry collar shirt:  



It may look plain, but its the details that make it different from the other shirts that you see. You have a plain white shirt but a the same time its the checks that makes the shirt stand out and "shine".

Most of the time, burberry lovers go for its bags and apparels and not so much for its wallets. If I had a choice, I would get a wallet from other brands rather than burberry, as the quality is not as good compared to other brands that you see. 

Well, thats only for me. You can decide whats good for you (:

Hermes

This week's brand noose! I have chosen a really really high end brand to talk about. For those who are not sure what it is, the logo of it is a carriage with a horse(well, the description I gave may make it sound like COACH), the logo is here:


Yes, as the picture suggests, it is Hermes. Many of you may pronounce it as "her-meese", actually its actual pronunciation should be "air-mess".

This brand is established in 1837 and specializes in high fashion leather goods. The leather goods in its production line are all very exquisite and luxurious looking.

Probably the reason why it is so expensive may be due to the reason that all bags are handmade. Each inch of leather and the buckle that come along with it, are all hand sewn into a bag that you see in the boutiques.

Hermes is so famous mainly due to two types of bags that they sell, one is the "Kelly Bag" and the other is its "Birkin Series".

These are the two series of bags that pushed this high fashion brand into its world of fame.

Personally, I would prefer the Birkin bags! If you haven seen it before, i suggest you take a look in their website and you'll know why it is so famous and popular among the rich.

Just another piece of info, for birkin series, they can only produce about 20 odd bags per year, because buyers can choose the type of leather they want to use, the type of buckle and the type of custom designs they wish to add and on top of that, everything is handmade.

Due to this, currently, their waiting list for birkin bags, is about 3 years now.

You may think it is a very long time to wait for just a bag, but when birkin bags were so in demand, their longest waiting list was up to 6 years! Crazy isn't it. But, i feel that good things are worth the wait.

Well, but this kind of over-luxurious items are not for me because one bag alone costs at least THIRTEEN THOUSAND Singapore Dollars!
