The Timeless Legacy of Burberry: A Story of British Elegance
Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, Burberry
In 1879, Thomas Burberry invented gabardine, a revolutionary waterproof yet breathable fabric. This innovation became the cornerstone of the brand’s success, favored by explorers like Sir Ernest Shackleton. The immensely practical yet stylish material led Burberry to design military trench coats during World War I, solidifying the iconic Burberry trench's legendary status. The trademark Burberry check, created in the 1920s as a lining for their coats, later became a globally recognized symbol of prestige. While it faced overexposure in the '90s, Burberry ingeniously reincorporated it in modern collections while elevating exclusivity. A pioneer in digital fashion, Burberry was the first luxury brand to livestream a runway show on social media. Collaborations with tech giants further expanded its innovative appeal.
