In 1856, the 21-year-old Thomas Burberry opened a small clothing store in the English town of Hampshire, and by 1870 this store had grown into an entire empire.

In 1880, Burberry invented a gabardine of durable waterproof fabric.

In 1891, Thomas and his son opened a store in London.

The Burberry clothing collection presents three main types of check pattern: Haymarket – original, Nova – introduced to a younger audience, and House – the latest “vision” of classic check.

In 1895 Thomas Burberry created the “trench coat “, which brought him fame and money, and was the uniform of British officers during World War II.

In 1901, the logo appeared for the first time – a knight in armor on the background of the flag with the word “Prorsum,” which in Latin means forward.

In 1920 the trademark was registered – plaid lining on the trench Burberry.

In 1955, Burberry received the Order of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In 1989, Burberry received a second Order of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
