| Summary: Burberry handbags and Burberry purses have become symbols of taste and style the world around. |
Burberry purses and Burberry handbags are internationally recognized for their mixture of high-fashion elegance and everyday practicality. The esteemed U.K. label offers a variety of Burberry purses and handbags, including several lines which feature the company’s instantly recognizable trademark Burberry Check pattern. For over half a century, the prestigious Burberry label has been adorned with the Royal Warrant from Her Majesty the Queen of England. Given the company’s impressively decorated 150 year history, it is little wonder that Burberry handbags and purses have become status symbols for women around the world.
The Burberry label was founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, a former draper’s apprentice who was just 21 years of age. The young design prodigy opened a shop in Basingstoke, England and cultivated a niche creating specialty outerwear for sportsmen. Even today, the Burberry label is well known for jackets and coats, including the world-renowned Burberry Trench. The company’s famous camel-colored Trench is the modern-day cousin of a coat designed by Thomas himself over a hundred years ago. The Burberry name signifies a classic, timeless aesthetic, and each Burberry product from the famous Burberry Trench coat to Burberry purses and handbags presents enduring appeal.
Much of the Burberry label’s fame comes from Burberry’s consistent success at retaining the appeal of traditional accessories and garments while adding a modern twist to every design. Burberry purses and handbags often feature classic silhouettes with subtly contemporary adjustments. In the hands of Burberry’s skillful designers, old-fashioned over the shoulder bags come alive with the addition of a few eye-catching stripes of the company’s trademark Burberry Check pattern. The trademark Burberry Check pattern, a plaid of red, white, black, and camel which adorns many Burberry purses and handbags, was first introduced in the 1920s, and retains its freshness today.
The Burberry label has been a reliable, elegant presence in the international fashion world for hundreds of years, but the popularity of Burberry purses and handbags is still on the rise. Sales of Burberry purses and handbags have skyrocketed recently, after television star and media mogul Oprah Winfrey declared the classic Burberry purse design one of her “Favorite Things” for the 2005 winter holiday season. Burberry purses and handbags have been spotted on the shoulders of celebrities Victoria Beckham and Madonna among others.
The classic Burberry label continues to grown in popularity, as Burberry handbags and purses are found on the arms of many of the most fashionable women around the world.
