Vintage Check Wool Cape

Selfridges Says: When we say British label Burberry has a chequered past, we mean it in a more literal sense – its all-pervasive print can be seen swathed across heritage pieces like the Vintage Check cape. Proving that two is truly better than one, this cocooning silhouette is stitched with reversible panels of cosy wool for sumptuous warmth and trimmed with a fine fringe that grazes the thighs with a feathery weight. Not all heroes wear capes, but style connoisseurs certainly do.

The Burberry name is inseparable from the gabardine trench coat it designed in 1901, now a fashion staple. Today, its artful approach to heritage style means outerwear for women and men is just part of a collection that spans red carpet dresses to the iconic Burberry check scarf and luxury bags.
