Firstly I don't think Burberry is even that high-end of a brand to pull off a 100k jacket...

Secondly, the price is ridiculous.... It's "we price it at 100K because we can".

Something along similar lines would be to make a 1000 euro can of Tropicana orange juice. "Freshly pressed by endangered Orangoutangs using diamond encrusted gloves."

Lame colour, and styling for the photo, as well. Looks like a pencil wearing that thing.

I think it is hideous, for some strange reason my wife quite likes it. I have told her that I don't want it as a surprise Christmas present.
