Burberry Nova scarf

Despite the fact that this scarf can be seen everywhere, I really like the design and the classic and black colors. But @ $295, is it REALLY worth getting them? I know that it's more than just about functionality at this point but is this pushing it?

Also where would I be able to get real one at a discount? When would be the best time to buy them on sale? Would $150 be reasonable? Are there any other brands that sell similar design and color?

Thanks

If you are foolish enough to pay an absolutely ridiculous sum to look like every other joe-shmo (and just about every girl), then go ahead and buy a Burberry nova scarf.

Well, it's their House check, so if you like the design, you should go for the original.

By the way, I found the cashmere scarf one of the Burberry items that are still of high quality. I really like mine and I paid full retail for it. For me, it's worth it, but this is a personal decision.

For 150$ I think it's a good deal. Not insane, but good.

Again I don't care for the fact that it's worn by many. I like the design and want to know where I can get them at discount or if there is another brand that has the same design and color schema

If you wear a fake burberry scarf you should use it as a noose.
Get the scarf with the Giant check, less people have that.
And if you dont want to buy the scarf at the store then you dont need it to be burberry get a polo plaid scarf and ask for the burberry for christmas.

I got it at Nordstrom for about $175, but I don't wear it much since everyone else has fakes, and I irrationally don't want to be grouped as such.

the Burberry nova check is easily the most cliche fashion accessory you could possibly have. I can't think of anything more played-out or overdone. Anything. Everyone and their MOTHER has had one.... since 2002!

Go for a swanky cashmere scarf at Saks, Nordstroms etc instead-- there's a bunch on sale now that spring is on the way, 100% cashmere by the same suppliers as the high-end brands and you can get them for $50-$100.

the burberry scarf is a classic, if i tlooks good with certain colors or textures wear it, don't discriminate based on brand or trendiness. Then again i do try to avoid trends like the plague... hmm

My biggest concern is finding a genuine one. I see online some Cash scarves going for 99.90 some for $150 heck even one for $45. I don't wanna pay the full price but I'm weary of being duped.

If that's your biggest concern, might as well pay retail, as many of the fakes online are so good they'll leave you wondering. If your biggest concern is getting that pattern because you find it aesthetically pleasing, then just buy the cheapest one you see. FWIW, you can often find them in Burberry outlets for around $100-150 (cashmere).
