The brand represents a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary urban style, reflecting an ethos of enduring quality and British cultural identity.

History

Thomas Burberry founded the company in 1856 in Basingstoke, England. The brand gained historical significance through the invention of gabardine, a breathable, waterproof fabric used for military uniforms and polar expeditions. Over the twentieth century, the trench coat became a staple of civilian fashion. Burberry Eyewear emerged as part of the brand's expansion into global luxury goods, maintaining the house's historical focus on functional design and distinctive British iconography within the optical industry.
