Unlike other labels that are either too hopeful or too carefree to come out with “practically priced” products, Burberry has gone “realistic” with its handbag collection, marking their leather products much lower than their regular prices.

As seen in the runway, this purse is made of exotic alligator skin filled with medal studs. It may not look like alligator in the photos, but the leather is more obvious at a closer look.

I read this book called “How Luxury Lost its Lustre” by Dana Thomas a journalist who has covered style and the luxury business for The Washington Post, Newsweek and The New York Times Magazine .
