Born from innovation, Burberry is a global luxury brand with a rich British heritage. Now celebrating our 170th year, we continue to build on the pioneering spirit that has defined us since 1856.
Founded by Thomas Burberry, our brand is underpinned by a passion for the outdoors. Thomas Burberry invented the innovative rain-ready fabric gabardine to protect explorers from the elements. In doing so, he created the foundation for the iconic Burberry trench coat, which remains core to the business even today.
