The Timeless Legacy of Burberry
Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, an apprentice draper from Hampshire, England, Burberrygabardine fabric
By the early 20th century, Burberry became synonymous with exploration and adventure. Its trench coat, originally designed for British Army officers during World War I, remains a cornerstone of its collections. The coat’s distinctive features—epaulets, a storm shield, and the D-ring belt—were both practical and stylish, cementing its place in fashion history. Post-war, Burberry transitioned into civilian wardrobes, becoming a staple for celebrities and royalty alike. The brand's signature check pattern, introduced in the 1920s as a lining for trenches, grew into a global status symbol. However, by the 1990s, overexposure led to a decline in exclusivity.

Under Bailey’s leadership, Burberry embraced digital transformation, launching live-streamed runway shows and social media campaigns that resonated with younger audiences. In 2023, under Riccardo Tisci, the brand introduced Burberry Luminous, an experiential reboot of its branding that reaffirmed its forward-thinking ethos while honoring its heritage. Today, Burberry operates in over 60 countries, offering everything from trench coats to handbags and fragrances. Despite shifts in fashion trends, the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship endures.
