The reusable masks, which are made in Italy, also provide particle filtration efficiency (PFE) and are enhanced with antimicrobial technology which protects the product from microbes and germs. The outer and inner lining are made from 100 percent cotton and the filling from 100 percent polyester. Each mask also comes with its own matching travel pouch, which is also treated with antimicrobial technology.
Twenty percent of each sale will go towards the Burberry Foundation Covid-19 Community Fund, operated by The Burberry Foundation, to help communities affected by the pandemic as well as those working on the frontline. Established in April, the fund has so far donated 160,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) gear, and has helped relief efforts in Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa.
Many brands and retailers have launched their own face masks since the outbreak of the pandemic, though the luxury industry has been noticeably hesitant to jump on the trend, perhaps due to concerns that doing so could be interpreted as a move to profit on the crisis.
But as the world continues to battle the pandemic and a return to normality seems an increasingly vague concept, it’s likely that more luxury labels will follow suits and begin producing their own high-end facewear.
We visited the MCM store at NorthPark on our luxury tour and spoke with store employee Aidan about the store and some history on the brand.
MCM, as you may know, is a leather goods manufacturer that has created many great looking products with the use of their iconic logo & monogram patterns. We took to the store directly to get some extended details on the product.
So primarily, where is MCM’s product materials acquired?
MCM’s materials primarily come from Italy and then some materials are retrieved from South Korea.
What is one of the most popular items you would say MCM has?
While all of MCM’s products are relatively great, I would say the Le Shopper is one of the most commonly sold among handbags.

The average cost range of MCM Products?
I would say the average cost range starting from our smallest bag is around $430. As you go up and depending on added features you could see anywhere up to $2500 average.
Personal Observations:
MCM creates some very fine leather products and ranges through various categories such as handbags, wallets, shoes, and more. The most common (tan leather monogram) is very popular and looks really good. They have a variety of colors and monogram tones that all have unique style and appeal to all types. My personal favorite was the inverse black with purple monogram, which I thought was very stylish and particularly caught my eye.
The launch of the Bulgari Aluminio in 1998 created quite a stir. Its unusual combination of black rubber and lightweight aluminum resulted in an unconventional but highly attractive, eye-catching sports watch with a slick Italian soul. In 2020, Bulgari staged a much-anticipated comeback of the Aluminum with automatic movements and an increased water-resistance of 100 metros in time-and-date, chronograph and GMT models.
One of the most distinguishing features of the Aluminium collection is the thick rubber bezel inscribed with Bvlgari Bvlgari. Picking up on the vessel’s black hull, the rubber bezel of the Aluminium Amerigo Vespucci is black, matching the black rubber strap. Home time can be tracked on the bright yellow and black anodised aluminium 24-hour flange with white numerals indicated by a central yellow arrow-tipped hand with lume. The yellow and black details on the sloping GMT flange and dial are meant to reference the golden trimmings and black railings of the Amerigo Vespucci.
