Burberry is a British fashion house founded in 1856 in Basingstoke by 21-year-old Thomas Burberry. In 1879 he invented gabardine, a durable, weatherproof fabric that later gave rise to the famous trench coat worn by British officers during the First World War. The signature check in beige, black, red and white first appeared in the 1920s as a lining for trench coats and is now one of the most recognizable fashion symbols in the world.
Burberry fragrances are created by world-renowned perfumers such as Francis Kurkdjian (My Burberry, Her, Hero), Michel Almairac, Anne Flipo and Emilie Coppermann. They combine British classicism with modern freshness, perfect for everyday wear as well as special occasions.
