Two neon Equestrian Knight Designs illuminate the building’s west and east facades, reflecting Burberry’s refreshed branding under creative director Daniel Lee. On the ground floor, Burberry debuts a new scarf section, featuring a monogramming service wh ere shoppers can add up to three initials in various colors to cashmere scarves. This personalized service adds a unique, modern edge to the brand’s offerings in China’s capital.
