Burberry Anyone?

Though many things in South Korea are cheaper than in 'Merica, this cannot be said of name brands. Going to the department stores and seeing a pair of normal levees for $200 makes me want to become a smuggler. All things name brand are cherished, as evidenced by the Burberry bike. Whether or not the upholstery is in fact made by Burberry makes no difference. I did a little checking, and it turns out that Burberry was a man in England who started his store in 1856. Gabardine fabric and the trench coat are both Burberry inventions. I hope this makes you feel better about the authenticity of that scarf...
