The Iconic Legacy of Burberry: A British Fashion Empire
Established in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, this legendary British luxury fashion house has evolved from a small outfitter’s shop in Basingstoke to a globally recognized symbol of elegance. Burberry's journey intertwines innovation and tradition—qualities that continue to define its identity today. From outerwear engineered for explorers to timeless runway collections, Burberry remains at the forefront of both fashion and function.
From Trench Coats to Trending Must-Haves
The brand revolutionized rainwear in 1879 with the invention of gabardine, a breathable yet waterproof fabric. This innovation led to the creation of the Burberry Trench Coat, initially designed for military officers during World War I and later adopted as a civilian staple. Characterized by its double-breasted design, epaulets, and signature check-lined interior, the trench became an enduring icon. Modern iterations, like those featured in our exclusive product catalog, blend heritage with contemporary cuts.
