Monogram Vest Puffer Jacket

British luxury brand Burberry’s long history began in 1856 with founder Thomas Burberry, whose penchant for outdoor sportswear led him to invent waterproof gabardine fabric. This same fabric was used by Burberry to design the trench coat during WWI, an adaptation of the traditional officer’s coat for use in wet weather. Nowadays, Burberry is defined by their authentic British heritage, and the very British faces that adorn their marketing campaigns such as models Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne.

Besides their Equestrian Knight logo, Burberry is perhaps most recognised for their trademarked tartan print. The camel, black, red, and white ‘Burberry Check’, first used to line its trench coats in the 1920s, now features in iconic accessories such as scarves, bags, and umbrellas. Burberry’s love affair with the vintage tartan print has been expanded to other check patterns and colours, including a pink version. This combination of modern edginess and British sensibility makes Burberry pre-loved pieces highly coveted by vintage collectors and those looking to acquire qualitative yet functional timeless pieces without breaking the bank.
