All about Burberry purses
While Burberry purses are very trendy and au courant, you may be surprised to learn that the Burberry brand itself is as old as dirt. Well, practically.
Thomas Burberry first opened his shop in Basingstoke, England in 1856, and trademarked his logo, the equestrian knight, in the early 1900s.
The classic Burberry Check (which is a camel, red, black, and white) was introduced as a trenchcoat lining in 1924. It was used primarily as a lining until 1967, when it was first applied to accessories such as scarves, umbrellas, and handbags.
