 Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry in Basingstoke, England, Burberry has become an
enduring symbol of British luxury and style. With a rich heritage spanning over
a century and a half, the brand has continuously evolved while remaining firmly
rooted in its iconic check pattern, innovation, and a timeless commitment to
quality. Burberry's early innovations were revolutionary. In the late 19th
century, Thomas Burberry invented gabardine, a waterproof, breathable fabric
that became synonymous with the brand's rainwear. The trench coat, with its
distinctive check lining, quickly became a symbol of British style and
functionality, serving military personnel and fashion aficionados alike. As a
symbol of British elegance and craftsmanship, Burberry remains an enduring and
influential fashion brand. Its ability to seamlessly blend tradition with
innovation ensures its place as a global icon in the ever-evolving world of
fashion. Daniel Lee’s intention is to ‘write an iconic chapter’ after he was
appointed head designer in 2022. He has a very strong connection with the brand
as he was born and bred in Bradford, Yorkshire which is very close to
Castleford where trenches are manufactured. Functionality is the concept that
Lee has decided to focus on: “design with meaning, that’s innovative with a
purpose’’.   Show less
