Burberry
hand bags began in a small village in England
by a man named Thomas Burberry who was not only the company’s founder
but
also the genius behind the universal Burberry plaid and the gabardine
fabric (which
is a fabric that is waterproof that was first used in the military, then
by Hollywood).
It was the turn of the
century when Burberry’s hand bags gained recognition. They became in
demand
with the women who were very in tuned with fashion during this era.
Originally
designed by Robert Menchetti, an Italian designer, Burberry hand bags
are still
a major competitor in the designer bag market. These hand bags are said
to be
quite affordable. They are about $ 500 and up a piece which is not steep
when
compared to other designer bags. Most of them carry the traditional
Burberry
plaid that really reflects the brand’s original designs. There are a lot
of
Burberry knock offs out there but beware, they are not of the same
quality as the
authentic Burberry bags and replicas. Burberry replicas on the other
hand are
cheaper. Replicas are sanctioned by the company itself to be made under
specifications to recreate the same exact bag, only cheaper.
