Overview

Burberry is mad for plaid. The 155-year-old company has long been associated with its gabardine-checked fabric, invented by founder Thomas Burberry. Burberry-lined "trench" coats, worn by British soldiers in WWI, became a company icon. Burberry operates retail and wholesale businesses and a licensing network. (The luxury brand's retail sales now outweigh its wholesale revenues.) Its 200-plus company-owned stores and 200 concessions in upscale department stores worldwide sell men's, women's, and children's designer apparel and accessories; it boasts the Prorsum and Burberry London brand names. Burberry has experienced a fashion renaissance and has expanded into baby clothes, blue jeans, and personal products.
