The more you engage in-store and online with the brand, the more social currency you will gain. This social currency can be used for various exclusive content and experiences including reservations at the in-house eatery Thomas's Cafe.

Named after Burberry founder Thomas Burberry, the café design is just as opulent, classic and modern as the fashion. Bright beige, laminated curtains, chamfered mirrors and motifs from the Burberry Animal Kingdom decorate the interior.

Inspired by Thomas Burberry's legacy of bringing communities together, the menu celebrates English and Chinese tea culture. The exquisite cutlery and china was designed by Burberry's Creative Director Riccardo Tisci and is exclusive to this Shenzhen café.

If you're wondering how to go about increasing social currency, one easy way is simply scanning the QR codes on product tags in the store.
