The Humble Beginnings

His passion for creating durable and functional clothing led to the invention of gabardine, a revolutionary waterproof and breathable fabric in 1879. This innovation set Burberry apart, transforming it into the preferred choice for explorers and adventurers.

The Trench Coat: A Worldwide Symbol

Perhaps Burberry’s most famous creation is the trench coat, designed for British Army officers during World War I. Its functional design, including the shoulder straps, D-ring belt, and storm flaps, made it indispensable in harsh conditions. After the war, the coat transcended its military origins to become a coveted fashion piece.

Today, Burberry trench coats remain a symbol of elegance, appearing in movies, on runways, and in countless wardrobes. The brand continues to reinterpret this classic by introducing modern cuts and colors while preserving its traditional essence.
