Founded in 1856, Burberry is a global brand with a deep British heritage. Starting with a bold vision of enabling people to move freely outdoors, Thomas Burberry created the trench coat over 100 years ago. Combined with the invention of breathable, weatherproof fabric known as gabardine, the brand revolutionized rainwear. Their trademark Burberry Check was introduced in the 1920s as an outerwear lining, while the Equestrian Knight represents protection, innovation, and a forward-looking spirit. Appointed as chief creative officer in 2022, Daniel Lee moves the brand forward with a focus on outerwear and British identity.
