Thomas Burberry was only 21 years old when, in 1856, he founded a fashion company with his name in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. The business was already doing well in the 1870s, and the following years showed even greater signs of prosperity.

And this was because Thomas Burberry invented a waterproof garment: the Trench Coat. With over 160 years of history, today Burberry takes on a place of notice as a brand that dictates fashion trends, specialised in luxury clothing and accessories, internationally distinguished by the modernity and irreverence it conveys in its collections.
