History

Thomas Burberry founded the company in 1856 in Basingstoke, England. He invented gabardine, a breathable and waterproof fabric, in 1879. This innovation led to the development of the Tielocken coat, the precursor to the modern trench coat used by the British military during World War I. Over time, the brand transitioned from utilitarian outerwear to a global fashion house. Its distinctive check pattern, introduced in the 1920s, remains a significant cultural identifier in textile design.
