A ladies' Burberry handbag in the company's trademarked check pattern

Burberry was founded in 1856 when 21-year-old Thomas Burberry (1835 - 1926), a former draper's apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By 1870 the business had established itself by focusing on the development of outdoors attire. In 1880 Burberry invented gabardine, a hardwearing, water-resistant yet breathable fabric, in which the yarn is waterproofed before weaving. Gabardine was patented in 1888. Burberry was the original name, but then soon switched to Burberrys, after many customers from around the world began calling it Burberrys of London. This name is still visible on many older Burberry products. Download high resolution version (1680x1793, 2854 KB) A ladies Burberry handbag. ...

In 1891 Burberry opened a shop in the Haymarket, London, which still exists and is the site of Burberry’s corporate headquarters. In 1904, the Burberry Equestrian Knight Logo was developed containing the Latin word "Prorsum", meaning forwards, and registered as a trademark. In 1911 they became the outfitters for Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, and Ernest Shackleton, who lead a 1914 expedition to cross Antarctica.

In 1914 Burberry was commissioned by the War Office to adapt its officer's coat to suit the conditions of contemporary warfare, resulting in the "trench coat". After the war, the trench coat became popular with civilians. The iconic Burberry check was created in the 1920s and used as a lining in its trench coats. It has been popularized by Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca[citation needed] and Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films.

The Burberry Check

The trademarked Burberry check pattern.

The trench, black, white and red pattern known as haymarket check or the "Burberry classic check" was first used as a lining for their trenchcoat in 1924. It was not until 1967 that the Burberry Check, now a registered trademark, was widely used on its own for items including umbrellas, scarves and luggage. The "Novacheck" was introduced for the younger market, later altered by making it more "exploded" (bigger) and slanted in a diamond or "mitre". Christopher Bailey made the debut of the "Housecheck" during the runway show of S/S 06? The Housecheck is a more "exploded" version of the Novacheck and its trademark is that, the material is always cotton/cloth like based compared to the Nova and Haymarket where it is Coated Canvas Based. So in a glance, the base price entry level for younger market is Nova (base level), then Haymarket Check for the older customers who like to stick to the traditional look, and then there's the Housecheck which is the most superior of Checks for the Fashion conscious.

UK image problems and revitalisation

During the 1970s, the brand became popular with the British football casual cult, leading to it to being associated with chavs, hooligans and members of football firms by the 1990s. The brand became something of a national joke, particularly when actress Danniella Westbrook was photographed with her young daughter wearing matching Burberry outfits. South Wales police ran a drive against anti-social behaviour under the name Operation Burberry[1], and Burberry admitted that "Burberry is now synonymous with Chavs and thugs."[2] This article is about the hooligan subculture. ...

With the entry of New Yorker Rose Marie Bravo as Chief Executive Officer in 1997, it was hoped the brand would be revitalised [3]. She brought in Kate Moss to star in an advertising campaign, along with many new designs and products.

Closure of Treorchy factory

Burberry store in London, England
Burberry store in London, England

In September 2006 Burberry announced the closure in March 2007 of its factory in Treorchy, South Wales, moving 310 jobs to Hong Kong and mainland China. The firm stated that the Treorchy plant was "not commercially viable". The unpopular decision resulted in protests by workers outside the Burberry flagship stores in London, under the banner "Keep Burberry British". The high-profile campaign was masterminded by local Welsh Assembly Member Leighton Andrews and was supported by politicians from across Wales, including MEPs Glenys Kinnock, Eluned Morgan and Jill Evans. It was also backed by celebrities from the world of cinema, music and sport including Prince Charles [2], Tom Jones [3], Sir Alex Ferguson [4], Ioan Gruffudd (the international face of Burberry), Emma Thompson, Rhys Ifans, Bryn Terfel, The Automatic, Tanni Grey-Thompson, Irvine Welsh, Michael Sheen, Steve Jones and William Saville. The PR disaster reached a new stage when local MP Chris Bryant made a motion on 23 January 2007 in Parliament to remove Burberry's Royal Warrant if it persists in its intention to move these jobs offshore.
