The world that we once knew has definitely taken an unexpected turn. As fear and anxiety rose and the promise of tomorrow became a faint string of hope, we did what we knew best in coping with the unknown: RETAIL THERAPY.

FACTS: Online sales skyrocketed more than ever before in 2020. And as we continually satisfied our serotonin and got addicted to the words « Your order has been dispatched.» I want to bring to your attention the must-have fashion piece for your wardrobe: The Classic and Iconic Burberry Heritage Trench Coat.

Burberry is definitely the innovator of the ultimate trench coat. Crafted in England to six distinctive fits in their signature cotton gabardine with that a Vintage check lining and undercollar, which reigned since the 1850s. Look at that longevity. It’s still trending in 2020 and very relevant. If I were you, I would start shopping around. Every fashion girl needs this iconic and timeless piece for their wardrobe.

Suppose fashion is moving towards a more sustainable route. In that case, I suggest we start investing in key classic pieces that will take you from season to season, year to year, decade to decade. The Burberry iconic classic Heritage trench is just the item you need.

It’s an excellent investment as it won’t go out of style any time soon. The Burberry trench coat price has continued to rise, currently retailed between $1.000- $2.700. How is it an investment? You are asking. Well, chances are you will be able to resell and get a great return on investment. But I wouldn’t advise it. It’s a keeper.

As we know, the RRP (recommended retail price) is steep. Another economical way to grab your hands on this iconic piece is to hunt it down on luxury secondhand websites. TheRealReal (USA), Depop (UK), Vestiaire Collective (France), or The Luxury Closet (UAE) are places you can get one ranging from $130- $680 depending on your luck. I would advise you to do your research first on keynotes on how to spot a fake. Cause we don’t want you getting duped, and we also don’t do fake.

Another tip is to wander through affluent areas and check their thrift shops. A friend of mine got lucky enough to get one in Richmond’s thrift shop for $130, bargain right. I would have a rummage through Portobello Road, Shoreditch, and Soho in London, the heart of British iconic vintage shops. You never know your luck.

This iconic trench will complete your daily outfits, whether it be casual, smart, or dress down. It takes your outfit from zero to hero. You can wear this trench all year round too. In winter, you can layer it. In summer, it can be for those chilly summer nights. It can be that light coat needed for your day-to-day in spring, and in autumn, because of its waterproofness, it is ideal for those rainy days. It just polishes your looks.

This coat will last you a lifetime, and I suggest you add it to your closet as soon as possible. It’s definitely a classic piece for your wardrobe.
