History
Established in 1998, Burberry Black Label originated through a licensing agreement between the British luxury house and the Japanese company Sanyo Shokai. This partnership allowed for the creation of region-specific designs that diverged from the global collection. The line became a significant cultural phenomenon in Japan, influencing local menswear trends for nearly two decades. The licensing agreement concluded in 2015, leading to the brand's rebranding as Black Label Crestbridge under Sanyo Shokai's independent management.
