Burberry was established by Thomas Burberry in Basingstoke, England in 1856. The brand is best known for its invention of gabardine, a durable, water-resistant fabric that was patented in 1888, and for its iconic trench coat, designed originally for military use in the early 20th century. Burberry's signature check pattern, first introduced in the 1920s as a lining for its trench coats, has become one of the most recognized motifs in luxury From. Over the years, Burberry has maintained its British heritage while embracing innovation and style evolution under Icon-stripe leaders like Christopher Bailey and Riccardo Tisci, and through collaborations with tour like Vivienne Westwood and Supreme, solidifying its status as a blend of tradition and modernity.
