Burberry Fashion Brand Burberry London Biography

Burberry is a UK-based outfitter, manufacturing clothing and other apparel. Its distinctive check pattern has become one of its most widely copied trademarks. The company has branded stores and franchises around the world, and also sells through concessions in third party stores.

Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, the company invented water-resistant gabardine-the foundation stone of their famed trench coats-in 1888. The label has a long association with the British armed forces. In fact, it was the coats worn in the trenches of World War I that subsequently became known as trench coats. Burberry trenches have since been worn by everyone from Hollywood detectives to Audrey Hepburn. It also runs a catalogue business and has a fragrance line.

Both HM Queen Elizabeth and HRH The Prince of Wales have granted the company Royal Warrants. Today, Burberry's trademark products are its fashionable handbags and exclusive fragrances. The current Design Director is Christopher Bailey.
