Burberry everywhere!!

Last time PRC gals favour Prada. For the past decade LV. Never mind the fact they cant pronounce Vuitton.

Too expensive for their lau kongs to buy. Have, but very few. Saw a belt. Costs 1k. More than my beloved Dunhill.

Pfft, Hermes bag, Kelly, Birkens, met sort after handbags not just the tiong bus. Lv, Prada, considered middle class nowadays. Burberry surprisingly made huge in road in China.

Any Dunhill brand lover here? Used to be fascinated with this brand when I started smoking some 20 years ago.. Maybe due to family influence as my grandpa and dad were smokers of Dunhill ciggies..

When I got my first pay years ago, I splurged half of my miserly pay into buying a Dunhill Rollagas Slim lighter..

Yes, Yes.. Dunhill for me!!! I even had a Dunhill belt 7 years ago given to me by an Uncle.. Wore it and took some ribbing by my mates..I persisted and even wore that belt for my wedding...

Dunhill belts are the best. Great value for money. In the mid and late 70s, Lanvin and Givenchy were its rival. Nowadays where to find Lanvin? At least Givenchy is still around. Other brands like Gucci, Balmain also no fight with Dunhill.

Brands like Lanvin, Balmain and Givenchy all have great resurgences in the past 5 years especially with the Chinese crowd who moved away from "streetwear" fashion to upmarket streetwear fashion - a Givenchy sweatshirt is about 2000 sgd - Balmain jeans is about 2000sgd upwards (see Club 21) - the problem these brands suffer is the licensed the brand off so it gets confusing as there are main lines (with proper big name designers behind them) and the sub-licensed brands of the same name which are your staple clothes without anything "fashionable" about design...Lanvin under Lucas Ossendrivjer/ Givenchy under Richardo Tischi is very atas and expensive - check on the Luisaviorama online website for the prices and they are not the same product as the ones you pick off the shop floor in Taka...

Dunhill is kinda stuck as they became popular around 2001/2002 but still too stuffy...PRC tourists love it though - Burberry has a couple of factory outlets in London and usually also have 2 sample sales a year in Central London - there is a factory in East London (Hackney) where you can walk in and drown in the. Burberry tartan to your hearts content for 50-80 percent off old season stuff...a must-stop for PRC tourists but Hackney is known as murder mile because of high violence mugging and gang wars....but hey it's on discount!

Montagut prices are around 130sgd now for a polo and they also have online presence - in. Galleries Lafayette in Paris it's 150euros for the classic montagut fil lumiere - the boutique in Chinatown closed down but there is the oldest seller on Montagut in People'S Park still selling them and a shop in Queensway....not sure where else....

I did not see this here but kept seeing Burberry all over the West and all worn by Chinese, both males and females especially middle aged and older. The tartan shirt is so ugly but the I have seen older men wearing it.

What is the story behind this. Not seen this phenomenon in Singapore.
