Burberry is a British luxury brand headquartered in London with a longstanding commitment to quality, innovation, creativity and responsible business.
Our brand is built on the principles of Thomas Burberry, who founded the Company in 1856. With his invention of gabardine in 1879, Thomas revolutionised outerwear and opened opportunities for adventurers to explore new spaces.
We continue that legacy today as we focus on bringing our vision of Modern British Luxury to life.
