The Story of the Burberry Trench

A symbol of British heritage and timeless style, the Burberry trench coat is more than a wardrobe staple - it's a fashion icon.

Sleek yet practical, effortlessly elegant yet enduringly cool, the trench has evolved from military origins into a global style statement. Since its debut in 1912, Burberry has reimagined the coat in countless iterations - from classic cuts to limited editions - each one a testament to craftsmanship and innovation.

This beautiful photographic guide explores the evolution of the trench, spotlighting original designs, seasonal variations, and how to spot rare and collectible pieces.

With behind-the-scenes insight into Burberry's ateliers, tips for navigating the preloved market, and advice on authenticity, this book is essential reading for fashion lovers - whether you're investing in your first trench or hunting down a vintage gem.
