Burberry

Burberry started in 1856 with a simple idea: outerwear that could deliver on practicality without compromising on style. What began as a small outfitter in Hampshire quickly became a British institution, thanks to Thomas Burberry’s invention of gabardine—a lightweight, weatherproof fabric that changed the way people dressed for life outdoors. The trench coat, born from this innovation, went from military gear to cultural icon, worn across generations and continents. Over time, Burberry has walked the line between heritage and reinvention, mixing classic checks with sharp tailoring, and tradition with a modern point of view. It’s a name stitched into the story of British fashion—rooted in craft, yet always looking ahead.
