As British as a cup of tea, Burberry is the ultimate heritage fashion brand with a story stretching back over 150 years. Now under the guidance of Creative Director Daniel Lee, the brand continues to produce high-calibre classics through a more editorial lens.
Founded in Basingstoke in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, the brand is considered to be the original purveyor of fine outerwear, designed to save men from very English weather. Using Gabardine—a durable twill worsted wool—Burberry men's coats and jackets made luxury rainproof.
We can't talk about Burberry without mentioning the iconic check pattern. Often imitated but never bettered, this enduring motif is reworked in different colours and styles each season and remains one of the most recognisable motifs in fashion. Originally trademarked as lining for its rainwear, it now permeates whole collections—from men's tops and knitwear to shorts and sneakers.
