The legendary Burberry coat came with the light hand of Thomas Burberry. In 1856, he opened his first manufactory store in Hampshire. As today, the future popular brand worked exclusively on outerwear. All other areas of the modern company are created by third-party brands in the framework of cooperation.
The year 1880 brought the company great fame and expansion, thanks to the invention in the walls of the manufactory of an innovative fabric called gabardine. Its advantages consisted of a special weave that does not pass fibers and provides an exchange of oxygen between its two sides. Thus, in any weather, clothes from this fabric did not allow moisture or wind, was not too unpleasant. Eight years later, technology was patented, and Burberry began its journey to fame.
How it all began
Initially, the company worked exclusively on the creation of outerwear. By the way, today the brand independently produces only this type of product. Other units, including cosmetics, are produced only under the bright name of this company.
Burberry later supplied the British Army with equipment and uniforms with branded details. About half a million raincoats were made. Corporate identity later leaked into civilian clothes and became incredibly popular due to its minimalistic but comfortable design.
The company made clothes for all members of the South Pole expedition led by R. Amundsen. The expedition was successful and confirmed the reliability and strength of the products of the House.
About Burberry Prorsum
The brand logo was chosen by Thomas on his own. It was the image of a knight in armor on a horse with a spear and a waving flag. The flag shows the inscription Prorsum. Translated from Latin, this word means forward. The flag indicates the company's commitment to innovation. The spear for Burberry symbolizes a willingness to defend its traditions. The models from this collection presented in Milan set fashion trends and are very popular all over the world.
Berberry prices are by no means democratic, therefore only people with high incomes can afford it. Female models are shown at fashion week in London, and male models in Milan. As you know, among the stars of the world of show business and the film industry, there are several dozen Burberry fans. This maintains the company's image at a high level.
Colors and patterns
The corporate, most recognizable pattern in the company's clothing and accessories appeared in the early twentieth century. This is a certain kind of combination of red, black, white and sand-beige shades in a cage, which since 1924 received a special name - Nova. Today, the pattern on the Burberry coat and their accessories recalls the UK and testifies to the sense of style of those who use Nova in their looks. However, this was not always the case. In the 70s, for example, this pattern in an unoriginal form spread among football fans with their hooligan style of dress.
To date, the original pattern of the company is also presented in various shades. Today, Burberry products contain red, pink, black, white and blue variations. Despite the fact that the company's style is constantly changing and supplemented, the creative director of the brand, Christopher Bailey, does not forget about the traditions of the British company in which he works. Despite some changes, the company remembers its history and rather restrained aristocratic minimalism.
