Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, Burberry has grown from a small outfitter in Hampshire, England, into one of the world's most iconic luxury fashion brands. Known for its trench coats, signature check pattern, and innovative approach to design, Burberry remains a timeless symbol of British craftsmanship.
Innovation in Fabric and Design
Thomas Burberry revolutionized outerwear in 1879 with the invention of gabardine, a breathable, waterproof fabric that transformed rainwear. The new material became the foundation for the famous Burberry Trench Coat, which was later adopted by British military officers during World War I and remains an enduring wardrobe staple today.
A Global Fashion Powerhouse
From royalty to Hollywood stars, Burberry has dressed influential figures for generations. The brand’s classic check pattern, introduced in the 1920s, has become synonymous with refinement. Over the years, Burberry has expanded its offerings to include ready-to-wear collections, fragrances, accessories, and more.
