Even before his razor sharp reflexes were evident, already this stubbly jawed adventurer cut a heroic figure. He was Indiana Jones and he was “raiding” the Lost Ark of the Covenant.

There’s an old adage: You get what you pay for; and with a 150 year old established marque like Burberry, you can be rest assured that quality and luxurious detail will be hallmarks of this Brit luxury house.

A contradiction in terms no doubt- can a “luxury” by it’s very nature be affordable? And what if the item is exquisitely crafted, impeccably detailed and yet offered at a less than princely sum of €600?
