I chose this product because I love its unique design and high quality. The company sells Burberry trench coat over 500 stories in more than 50 countries.

The market positioning of the Burberry is unique and varies as it targets trendy as well as classic customers. Burberry targets all its customers through a common theme of functional luxury. Burberry’s main competitors include Armani, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada and Polo, all of which are among top fashion brands in UK and globally. Coach and Gucci, both are more focused towards fashion accessories while Polo and Armani are more focused towards apparels; although all have a range of products in both apparel and accessory categories.

It differentiates from its competitors by great brand equity and a long history of establishment. The company has branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through concessions in third-party stores. HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH the Prince of Wales have granted the company Royal Warrants. Therefore, the fabric performed excellently in water-repellency tests and dried very quickly.
