You know what bothers me about this guy?

He gave an interview a while ago telling how much he loathed the pretentious and snobby sales people usually associated and found in high-end clothing and luxury stores. He had told a story about how poor he was as a kid etc. and one day his father, if I remember the story correctly, sent him money to London while he was attending college to buy a gift for his mother or something....

...It turns out that the people, who were dealing with him in that store, were very rude and condescending, obviously because they saw he was not all that wealthy and this would perhaps be a one time purchase of a family who evidently had a very limited budget. He said this experience had left a very bitter taste in his mouth, and he made the point in the interview that his 'Burberry' would never be like one of those hellish luxury stores....

@calaftheeast

...That his stores would be inviting, welcoming and cordial to whomever that walks in.

Well, in reality the sales people of the Burberry stores in New York are all blatantly rude and racist a-holes. And this is just Burberry, mind you: it is not Harry Winston. (not that this type of attitude is acceptable anywhere.)

So long story short: I think he is a hypocrite and a very mediocre designer who is not any different from his snobby and irritating ilk whom he complained about.

@calaftheeast

One might say he is probably not aware of those little things that occur in every single store he's associated with through Burberry, but then do not give an interview proclaiming you are overseeing everything that goes in and out of these stores. Say that you're just the designer and that is it.

Clearly, his earnest and ideological talk doesn't match the reality.

Please will someone help me out? I've read on a couple of blogs that the sample size is (amazingly) 30ml, but on other blogs I've read it was a typo and It's really 3ml. Also on facebook where you request the sample is an image of a tiny sample size. I just want to know for sure? Does anyone know? Thanks xxx
