It is only a fiver and will (for sure) be genuine, but for me is a little to "chavy" which annoys me cos by me thinking this the 'chavs' win ;(

It is nice though right?

erm.... what?

 

[softgrey]

hasn't it been too chav for quite some time now?...

 

[crepebacksatin]

it's really bad.

 

[kkesh]

first of all, are you a chav?

 

[ChrissyM]

i think that that version of burberry is def too chav these days..
because it's that textured nylon (?) or whatever that material is...

burberry's pebbled leather is much better..

 

[TeeKay]

no offence at all, but it does look like some chinese-made wallet that cost about a pound on the streets
(and i am chinese, so i know what they are like)

I have no idea what you mean by 'chav'. Can anyone help me out here?

chav - from the online bible wikipedia

Chav, also Charv/Charver and Chavette (pronounced /ʧæv/, with 'ch' as in chair) are mainly derogatory slang terms in the United Kingdom for a subculturalstereotype fixated on fashions derived from American hip hop such as imitation gold, poorly made jewellery and fake designer clothing, combined with elements of working class British street fashion. The term appeared in mainstream dictionaries in 2005.

My Opinion on the matter - if you are not a member of the aristocricy, own a castle and wear top to toe Ralph Lauren (read= are way too damn rich, already own a vintage supply of burberry passed down by uncle Arthur,and too ignorant to regognize the chav movement) than i believe noone should be wearing a burberry check ANYTHING for at least a year or two to let the association die down a little, sorry.....

about an hour ago my cousin asked me my opinion about a sort of similar burberry wallet..
she was looking at that and a miu miu wallet..

it reminded me immediately of this thread and the "too chav" question

and i promptly told my cousin it was too chavvy and that she should definitely go with the miu miu
