Burberry is one of the most sought-after luxury brands on the resale market. This English company rose to popularity in the late 1800s for their water-resistant trench coats made of gabardine. In the 1920s, the company introduced a distinct tartan plaid, sewing it within the lining of their popular trench coats. Today, this pattern is one…
