Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry in England, the house revolutionized outerwear through the invention of gabardine — a breathable, weather-resistant fabric that transformed rainwear construction.

The trench coat, developed for British military officers during World War I, became one of fashion’s most enduring wardrobe staples. The Burberry Check, introduced in the 1920s as trench lining, evolved into one of the most recognizable patterns in global luxury.

Burberry continues to reinterpret its archive while maintaining its commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and British identity.
