Burberry was founded in 1856 when 21-year-old Thomas Burberry, a former draper's apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By 1870, Burberry found great success specializing in outdoor attire. The black, tan, and red pattern known as haymarket check or the "Burberry classic check" was first used as a lining for the Burberry 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. Today, Burberry is a premier luxury fashion known worldwide. Below you will find the entire Burberry mens and womens sunglasses collection. For individual product info please click on the frame.
