Recently, luxury British fashion brand Burberry has been the subject of heated discussions on Chinese social media platforms such as Weibo due to its high-priced products. Netizens have expressed mixed reactions towards the brand and its price tags, with some finding it unaffordable while others admiring its quality and style.
Weibo users started sharing their reviews of a Burberry-branded ice cream shooter priced at 1,800 yuan and a heated bag costing 3,300 yuan. One user sarcastically commented that they were not making any money from them even if they earned a single yuan. Some Weibo users found the prices to be exorbitant and expressed their dissatisfaction by using phrases like "Burberry is not making a penny off of me" and "Luxury products are quite good, never cutting off poor people's grasses." They pointed out that they would rather spend on more practical and affordable items such as a 9 yuan hot water bag from Pinduoduo.
However, there were also netizens who praised the quality and style of Burberry products. One user shared a video showing a demonstration of how to use the ice cream shooter, highlighting its elegance and convenience. Another netizen expressed their admiration for the fashionable hot water bags, stating that they are not just practical but also stylish and can be used at various occasions
