Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, the Burberry
Thomas Burberry, originally a draper’s apprentice, established his namesake brand at just 21 years old. His revolutionary invention, gabardine—a breathable, weatherproof fabric—was patented in 1888 and became the foundation of the brand. Its durability made it a favorite among explorers, including Ernest Shackleton, who wore Burberry gabardine during his Antarctic expeditions. During World War I, Burberry redesigned its officer’s coat to feature epaulettes, D-rings, and a storm flap—elements that defined the classic Burberry trench coat. Post-war, it became a civilian wardrobe staple, worn by style icons like Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. In the late 1990s, Burberry faced brand dilution due to over-licensing. Under CEO Angela Ahrendts and Creative Director Christopher Bailey, the brand underwent a remarkable revival, streamlining products and embracing digital innovation—most notably with its 2010 "Tweetwalk" runway show. Today, under current designer Daniel Lee, Burberry continues to balance tradition with fresh, youth-oriented designs like those listed in this product spreadsheet detailing seasonal releases. Beyond fashion, Burberry has influenced music and film, collaborating with artists like Stormzy. The brand also commits to sustainability, pledging carbon neutrality by 2040 and launching recycled collections. Its Kensington flagship store features eco-friendly materials, reflecting an evolving luxury ethos. From dressing polar explorers to dominating street style, Burberry’s 168-year journey showcases how adaptability and timeless design keep a heritage brand relevant.
