What Makes Burberry Special

The Trench Coat

Invented by Thomas Burberry during World War I, the trench coat revolutionized outerwear. Made from gabardine — a waterproof, breathable fabric Burberry invented in 1879 — the trench remains a global fashion icon worn by royalty, celebrities, and style icons for over a century.

The Burberry Check

The iconic beige, black, white, and red Nova check pattern was introduced in the 1920s as a lining for trench coats. It has since become one of the most recognizable brand signatures in fashion history, symbolizing British heritage and timeless luxury.

Royal Warrant Holders

Burberry holds Royal Warrants from HM The Queen and HRH The Prince of Wales, cementing its status as a purveyor of luxury goods to the British Royal Family. This recognition underscores the brand's commitment to exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
