The British house gives the public a peek into the making of its storied staple

Held until&nbsp;23 April, Burberry&#39;s new&nbsp;mini&nbsp;exhibition &#39;Tales of a Trench Coat&#39; will let you in on&nbsp;the craftsmanship and history behind&nbsp;its signature trench coat at the brand&#39;s&nbsp;ION Orchard boutique.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Displays showcase the development of Burberry's gabardine as well the craft that takes place in the brand’s UK factories, where several generations of families have worked. A wall of tools illustrates the many steps of the trench coat's manufacture. 

Longtime fans of the brand can peruse an assembly of Christopher Bailey&rsquo;s most directional trenches up-close, including a kickback green lace number from Spring 2013 and a gabardine-tweed patchwork example from Fall 2012.

A section is dedicated to Burberry&rsquo;s historic partnerships with pioneering explorers and aviators such as Ernest Shackleton, devotees of the brand&rsquo;s high-performance gear.

Visitors can get portraits snapped in The Portrait Studio, part of the set from the brand&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/woman/burberry-february-2017-ready-to-wear-runway-collection-pictures-london-fashion-week" target="_blank">most recent show</a> that &mdash; inspired by the studio of artist Henry Moore &mdash; and transplanted in its entirety from London.

For the duration of the exhibition, clients will also have the opportunity to monogram their new Burberry trenches with hand-applied goldwork cording.
