Founded in 1856, our brand is underpinned by our founder’s 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.
Throughout our history, we have been inspired by nature and the outdoors, enabling explorers and innovators to open new spaces and unlock endless possibilities. Our ambition, driven by our purpose and values, is to do well by doing right.
