I have 3 Burberry bags made in Italy, one a nova check, and one a classic fabric check, also a pink shadow check. I have a vintage demim blue color knight check purse and wallet made in Turkey and a new smoked trench check from Nordstroms made in China. Other than the vintage, which has much thicker PVC, I do not see that much difference in the quality. The new bag from China was $595. It is a simple hobo style cross body. I think the more elaborate and expensive bags are made in Italy, as well as the all leather bags, but I could be wrong. I LOVE all my Burberry's.
