I ask this especially to the British ladies because someone in the main forum asked about Burberry vs. Chanel and someone from the UK chimed in about the "chav" reputation. At the same time, someone in the Burberry forum asked if the Burberry bags have the same reputation as the Burberry trenchcoats and she noted the Burberry bags that she likes are more Mulberry in style.
I've always thought of Mulberry as more authentically British and Burberry, other than the trenchcoats and the scarves, as a more commercialized version. I still like the Burberry plaid, but, I remember going through customs at Heathrow and seeing a woman in fake Burberry plaid from head to toe. It was a little embarrassing even though probably sweet that she was likely trying to fit in from her perspective.
What do the UK ladies think of Burberry vs. Mulberry? I think of the Burberry trenches and scarves as pretty great. But while the coated canvas totes can be cute, they don't at all compare to Mulberry, which I think of more as like a British riding saddle (weird?). Thoughts?
