The company that was founded in 1856 by the 21 year old Thomas Burberry, opened its first store in the town of Hampshire, England. The company is well known for its Check pattern and is copied throughout the world. By the 1870 the company was focused on developing outdoor wear. Thomas created the fabric gabardine, which is a very durable water resistant fabric and was patented in 1888.

The company headquarters was opened in a emporium in Haymarket, London in 1891, which it still stands today. The logo for Burberry was developed and trademarked in 1904, and they also outfitted at the time Roald Amundsen, he was the first man to reach the south pole, and in 1914 the man who lead an expedition across Antarctica, Ernest Shackleton. During the first World War the War office commissioned Burberry to create an officer’s coat, which eventually became what is known today as the modern trench coat. This design was popularized by Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Peter Seller in the Pink Panther. The style and grace of the check pattern has been embraced by the most fashionable celebrities, new and old.

The Check pattern known as novacheck or the “Burberry check” was the lining that was used for their trench coats in the 20’s. In the late 60’s the design was widely used in their luggage, handbags and umbrellas. The check image had some issues in the 70’s when it became popular with the British football crowd, which led to its association with hooligans. It became a running joke nationally and the South Wales police had a drive against anti-social behavior, they used the name Operation Burberry.

By the time the 90’s rolled around the company brought in Model Kate Moss to help revitalize the brand with a national campaign. In December 2005 it was spun off as the Burberry Group. The company has 36 company-owned retail stores in the US: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.

Why Women Are Still Crazy For High End Burberry Handbags


Why Women Are Still Crazy For High End Burberry Handbags
By Gregg Hall

The same company that invented the trench coat, and the fabric called Gabardine, is still inventing today. When we think about the great inventions in the world we don’t normally think about people who make clothing and fashion accessories, but the truth is that a lot of thought goes into designing new fashions that serve new and special purposes. Where would we be without the great innovations of designers who have created new types of clothing and accessories that make our life so much easier?

The Prosum, Heritage, Nova, Zip Hobo and Baby Messenger bags are new lines that have come out of this company recently, and among those styles there are many new innovations that make a purse much easier to work with. Special kinds of trim, flaps, snap fasteners that make it easy to open and close the bag with one hand and many other innovations are included in this company’s accomplishments.

Burberry bags come in several colors including tan, beige, white, wine, alligator, light brown, cognac, and black. The special colors make interesting combinations as accessories for outfits, and a wide variety of colors make these bags more useful for the consumer.

PVC, leather, brass, canvass, nickel, alligator and other materials are all incorporated into the manufacture of their hand bags. Pockets, trim, straps, hidden pockets, fittings, buckles, linings, handles, keys, locks, buckles, zippers and piping are all some of the interesting parts that you might never expect to find in a purse, but which can be found on some of the models made by Burberry.

Designers put a lot of thought into how they make their bags, and the industry is very competitive. Each part of the bag receives special care and attention, and experts think about ways to make them better. Every model makes improvements on models that existed before as the designers try to make their purses better and better.

If the bags that are on the market at any moment cause trouble for the people that use them, the innovators get to work thinking about ways to avoid those problems in the next design. If they tear or break easily, or if they are hard to open, or if the items inside fall out easily, these are problems that the designers need to consider as they plan the next model. They look at the processes where the old bags fail, and they find new ways to make bags so that these problems cannot occur.

The amount of time and energy that goes into making these bags is also reflected in the price. How do you feel about paying five hundred to a thousand dollars for a single designer bag? The materials that go into the manufacture of these bags are the best, and they are expensive on their own. Above this, designers must be paid top dollar by the company for their service, and for all the thought and concentration that goes into finding new designs. In the end this translates to a very high cost for consumer, and it is without a doubt that consumers find these high priced bags well worth the cost.
