History

Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, a 21-year-old English boy, Thomas Burberry has won a loyal customer base for its quality, innovative fabrics and outerwear.

In 1879, he developed Gabardine, a strong, waterproof and breathable twill fabric, which was quickly widely used due to its durable penetrating properties, and thus won everyone's approval.

In 1888, Gabardine patented the design and manufacture of raincoats for British officers at the time.

In 1895, a trench coat called Tielocken, designed by Burberry for British officers, became the originator of today's trench coat.

In 1901, Burberry designed the first trench coat.

In 1910, Burberry launched a women's collection and opened a store in Paris, France.

In 1911, Burberry made a name for itself by providing travel clothing to Ronald Amunden, the first traveler to conquer the South Pole.

Created in 1924, the Burberry Check "Nova" – representing Burberry check, first appeared on the lining of wet and dry coats, and was trademarked in 1967 and more widely used on other products such as umbrellas and luggage.

In 2002, Burberry launched The Art of Trench tailor-made trench coats in its London and New York stores.

In 2003, Burberry launched a new collection named after its founder, Thomas Burberry, offering lighter and more youthful and trendy clothing, further pushing the brand to the younger generation.
