Burberry

/ˈbɜrbɛri/ noun

Definition

A British luxury fashion house known for its trench coats and distinctive tartan pattern.

Etymology

From the surname of founder Thomas Burberry, who established the company in 1856. The name Burberry is of English origin, possibly meaning 'fortified place' or related to 'borough' (fortified town).

Kelly Says

Burberry invented gabardine fabric and the trench coat, which was originally military gear for WWI officers before becoming a fashion icon. The company's distinctive check pattern was originally used only as a coat lining but became so popular that it's now one of the most recognizable patterns in fashion.
