It is an uncommon occurrence for one product to become so timeless as to symbolize an entire brand. Burberry is lucky to have several, one of them being its classic cashmere scarf sporting its iconic check pattern. However, in light of the times, Burberry has launched a new initiative called the “Scarf Bar,” which allows its discerning customers to personalize their Burberry scarf to their own specifications. Those looking for a completely unique item can choose from over 30 available colorways, with 30 shades of thread for embroidering your initials. Made of 100% cashmere and woven in age-old Scottish mills, the scarves come in the “classic” and the larger “lightweight” options at $550 USD and $870 USD respectively. Watch the evocative video of the scarves’ origins above, and start customizing here.
