Burberry presents womenswear patchwork coats at London fashion week

Burberry has unveiled a collection of patchwork coats and military trenches at London fashion week, which took place in Kensington Gardens.

The first entirely shoppable show presented the brand’s womenswear range under the new and unified 'Burberry' label.

The Patchwork coat is a mix of texture, fabric and detail, individually named after British streets, towns and villages and it is already available to buy straight from the runway.

Reinvented for A/W16, the trench coat this time boasted sleek patent leather with polished heritage-inspired buckles and military topstitching.
