The Timeless Legacy of Burberry: A Blend of Heritage and Innovation
Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, the British luxury fashion house Burberry
From Trench Coats to Iconic Tartan
The brand's iconic trench coat, originally designed for British soldiers during World War I, remains a cornerstone of its collections. Over time, Burberry expanded its offerings to include luxury accessories, fragrances, and ready-to-wear apparel while retaining its classic aesthetic. The Burberry Check—a camel, black, red, and white tartan pattern—became instantly recognizable after its introduction in the 1920s.
Modern Reinvention and Digital Leadership
Under creative directors like Christopher Bailey and Riccardo Tisci, Burberry embraced digital innovation while honoring its heritage. It was among the first luxury brands to livestream runway shows and leverage social media marketing. The brand continues to evolve with bold new designs, showcasing its latest collections and products
Sustainability and Future Vision
Today, Burberry champions sustainability, committing to carbon neutrality and ethical sourcing. Its timeless appeal lies in balancing tradition with modernity—whether through customizable trench coats or tech-driven retail experiences. With over 160 years of history, Burberry remains a global symbol of British sophistication.
