In 1856, Thomas Burberry, a pupil of the merchant of the manufactory, opened his first clothing store in the English town of Basingstoke. The business was so successful that soon Burberry opened a shopping center. In 1880, Thomas Burberry invented gabardine - a durable, waterproof fabric for outerwear. The first store in London Haymarket was opened in 1891, these days it is the main office of Burberry.
The brand's trademark is a knight in armor on a horse and with a spear in his hand.
The trademark is a cage of red, black and sand color, thanks to which Burberry's things are easily recognizable - first appeared on the lining of raincoats in 1920, and was registered in the same year as the Burberry trademark.
Burberry produced equipment for Amundsen - the first person to reach the South Pole, for an expedition to the Antarctic, suits for pilots and British military. Since 1955 Burberry is the official supplier of the Queen of Great Britain.
In the 90s of the last century, the company's management decided to change the company's image and attract young buyers. To solve this problem, the Italian designer Roberto Manichetti was hired, who successfully managed to combine the brand traditions and new fashion trends in new models of clothing.
Now the design house Burberry is a large manufacturer of brand clothes, accessories and perfumes, has a sales network that includes more than 300 stores around the world. The 150-year history of the brand Burberry allows us to consider it the embodiment of a truly English style, quality and tradition.
