In the Northeastern of Thailand, men wear Pakama (sarong) in bright check patterns. That's how my fascination with check pattern was developed. The first Burberry piece I purchased, four years ago, was a carryall bag, similar to the Smoked Check that was recently released.
I was really excited about the opening of a Burberry store in Toronto, since the selection at Holt Renfrew tends to be limited. The men's section occupies the first floor and the store does get most of the collection offered on-line or in their US stores. In my opinion, Burberry is the perfect place to build your wardrobe with classic pieces.
Staff are friendly and attentive without any of the attitude one might expect from a high end retail store. I love that staffs would introduce themselves, allow me to browse the store peacefully and available when I need some assistance. Several times they went out of their way to search the stock room for a particular size or item in stock but not currently displayed in the showroom.
