Burberry Is Crap

Or maybe my mom just likes to manhandle things?  My mom's Burberry handbag which she probably used for about 3 months is falling apart.  The threading that attaches the handle to the bag to give it a more clasped look is falling apart on one of the handle and one of the leg peg piece on the bottom of the handbag fell off so now I have to go take it to a Burberry store to get it repaired.  I don't even know if the bag is still under warranty because I have no idea when she even bought the bag since she purchased it awhile ago at the Burberry store in Vegas but never used it since until recently.  This is just how luxury brands are, they have no substance.  You pay mega bucks for crap which are just as good as the ones you find in 99 cent stores except with a different label.  Luxury brands do not make any good product, they buy their manufactured goods from the same factory as everyone else except they slap on their label and suddenly the same bag that sells at Old Navy for $9.99 is now selling with a new label for $999 at Burberry.  My parents work in the clothing industry and the same thing applies there so that's why my parents are very picky when they buy clothes because they know the quality and the different label mark ups.  Basically, know your crap before you buy!


The apple doesn't fall far from the tree eh?
