Burberry
About
Thomas Burberry invented gabardine, a waterproof yet breathable fabric, in 1879, which became the foundation for the company's outerwear business. The Burberry trench coat, developed from military designs during World War I, remains the brand's most iconic product. The Burberry check, a tan, black, red, and white tartan pattern, was introduced in the 1920s as a lining for the trench coat and has since become one of the most recognized textile patterns in fashion.
Burberry's product range includes men's and women's ready-to-wear, outerwear, leather goods, shoes, accessories, fragrances, and children's clothing. Daniel Lee joined as chief creative officer in 2022 and has led a design repositioning of the brand. The company produces its trench coats at its Castleford factory in Yorkshire, England.
Burberry operates approximately 400 stores globally, including flagships on Regent Street in London and on major shopping thoroughfares in New York, Paris, and Asia. The company sells through its own e-commerce platform, department stores, and specialty retailers. Burberry reported revenue of approximately 2.97 billion GBP in fiscal year 2024. The brand's fragrances are produced through a license with Coty. Burberry holds a Royal Warrant from King Charles III.
