Burberry: Beginning
In 1856, the first Barbary store was opened. The clothes displayed there were designed and created by the owner. It was Thomas Burberry. This was the beginning of the history of the brand, which is now popular all over the world.
Thomas by that time was already famous. It was his pen that such a magnificent creation as gabardine belongs to - a waterproof, wear-resistant and beautiful fabric that is in demand today. At first, Thomas Burberry sewed military uniforms from gabardine, making adjustments to the design as well. By the way, it was then and exactly in this way that the famous trench coat was born, which later migrated from the army barracks to the wardrobes of urban fashionistas. But it didn't stop there! Once it occurred to Thomas to work not only on the appearance, but also on the "inner world" of clothes - and he set aboutthe invention of the lining pattern. "Why not make it checkered by mixing white, red, black and sand?" - once thought a brilliant tailor. No sooner said than done. Today this ornament is recognizable and loved, it is worn with pleasure and even forged. It was called "Nova" and is considered one of the main attributes of the "Barbary" style. Clothes, bags, gloves, scarves, jewelry - everywhere you can find the famous black-red-sand check!
Directions
Today the manufacturer works in two directions:
