Burberry have recently included a customisable scarf bar in their Regent Street store, allowing customers to personalise their scarf with their initials similar to the infamous Burberry capes (as worn by Cara Delevigne and Rosie Huntington Whitely). Shoppers can create their scarf by choosing from a range of colours and prints, and opting for up to three letters embroidered in a choice of two font sizes. Burberry have raised the stakes even higher, also utilising a personalised responsive digital marketing campaign aimed at promoting the scarf bar. The technology recognises the user’s location in the world and offers colour and material options that are most appropriate according to local weather and a number of other variables.
