Since its inception in 1856, Burberry
Thomas Burberry opened his first store in Basingstoke, England, initially focusing on durable outdoor clothing. His breakthrough came in 1879 with the invention of gabardine, a breathable, weatherproof fabric that transformed rainwear. The material's success led to the creation of the legendary trench coat, originally designed for British soldiers during World War I. By the early 20th century, Burberry's signature beige check pattern emerged, adorning everything from scarves to luggage linings. This distinctive design became a hallmark of sophistication, cementing the brand's status among elite clientele. Explore Burberry's classic and modern designs in this product showcase. Burberry's influence extended beyond fashion, becoming a cultural symbol in films like Breakfast at Tiffany's
