Burberry: A Timeless Legacy of British Luxury
Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, the iconic British fashion house Burberry
At just 21 years old, Thomas Burberry opened his first store, specializing in durable outerwear. His breakthrough came in 1879 with the invention of gabardine, a waterproof yet breathable fabric that revolutionized rainwear. This innovation led to the creation of the legendary Burberry trench coat, originally designed for British military officers during World War I.

Under current leadership, Burberry emphasizes sustainability, pledging carbon neutrality by 2022 and launching ReBurberry
