Burberry Handbags - New styles of Burberry Purses

Brief History:
Burberry was not originally known for their purses -- their worldwide known plaid designed was originally only seen in scarves and their classic trench coat, but the company has also positioned itself as one of the premier designers of handbags in the world. Burberry was founded in the year 1856, and it was founded by a young man by the name of Thomas Burberry, at the age of 21.

For some reason, no one talks much about clothes inventions. Inventors do not just create gadgets, but are clothes innovators as well.

Burberry is one of the most recognized fashion brands. The Burberry brand was founded in 1856 by Thomas, a draper's aide, who opened his first store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By the late 1800s, Thomas' business was well established, and he had become known for some of his clothing inventions. Thomas had invented a new material he called Gabardine, which was breathable, tear proof, and waterproof. He later created the trench coat, which became very popular amongst the soldiers fighting in the Boer War in Africa. Burberry is presently one of the most recognized names in luxury clothes.
