We can only imagine the conversations artists have with their cohorts after copping a few pieces of luggage, or any other Burton-related products for that matter. For the sake of simplicity, we assume they’d simply ask, “Jealous much?!” to any friends frothing at the mouth for new gear. We know now that they sprint to their closest Burton store and make it a point to purchase something from the latest season.
For the past few years we’ve made sure that Burton enthusiasts who also happen to be musicians, artists, DJs, producers, directors and actors stay up to speed on what’s in the current line, making sure that they’re updating their snowboarding gear and carrying our luggage on tour.
We just heard from the LA Flagship store that those friends are telling their friends to purchase Burton luggage, apparel and gear for their summer tours too. Top tier talented people who travel all over the globe are backing our products and we couldn’t be more stoked.
Here’s a quick download of some of the latest visitors to the LA store who made purchases courtesy of Assistant Manager, Travis Schenck:
- Sean Sturge (sound engineer for EMINEM and N.E.R.D.)
- Kurtis Battle (Tour Manager for Kanye West and EMINEM) * They stop in whenever they are in LA and usually pick up bags for themselves or for who they are working with. I was backstage at the Eminem/Jay Z show this week and it looked like a Burton Luggage store back there!
- Tony Moore- Stage manager for Lil Wayne
- Gary McLain- Stage manager for Disturbed, Godsmack, Guns and Roses
- Pablo Stennett- Guitarist for Ziggy Marley
- Shaggy- R&B and Reggae Singer
