Burberry – an iconic and quintessentially British brand that symbolises its country of origin. In the fashion world, this house represents timeless elegance, exquisite style and a respect for tradition.
Burberry was created in 1856 when the young Thomas Burberry started working in a shop selling outerwear. He soon focused on developing new materials and in 1888 registered a patent for his newly invented, waterproof-yet-breathable fabric called gabardine.
Among others, Burberry’s practical garments were favoured by Roald Amundsen’s expedition to the South Pole as well as officers during WW1 whose jackets later also became popular with civilians. In the 1950s, the brand became an official supplier to the British royal family.
The iconic logo with a knight on a galloping horse and the Burberry plaid pattern have now symbolised premium quality for many years – and the same goes for Burberry beauty. Every Burberry fragrance embodies the brand’s traditional values and allows you to add the magic of British elegance to your personal style.
