Burberry continued to provide outdoor wear during both the First and Second World Wars and it is at this time that the Burberry trench coat is first launched. This best-selling coat for the brand was purposefully designed for the military and all these elements remain on this famous coat still to this day.

It wasn’t until the 1920s that the Burberry check became an integral part of this luxury brand and featured as the lining of the trench coats.

During Burberry’s long history there have been several important creative directors, firstly Christopher Bailey who joined the brand in 2001 and created cutting edge womenswear and menswear designs. This role was then taken over by Riccardo Tisci in 2018 when the Italian designer became creative director for Burberry.

Tisci refreshed the brand, signaling a new era, with a new Burberry ‘TB’ logo that honored the company’s founder, Thomas Burberry. Burberry is now one of the best-known British luxury fashion brands, creating stunning ready-to-wear collections, leather goods, shoes, and of course the famous trench coat.

The history of Louis Vuitton

This luxury French brand is the second oldest luxury brand that is still operating today. Louis Vuitton founded his namesake brand in 1854 after working as an apprentice for a trunk maker in Paris for 17 years.

Louis Vuitton first found success when he created flat top trunks made from waterproof canvas. This was revolutionary for the time as the majority of trucks used in long journeys had a curved top and therefore could not be stacked.

This success allowed Louis Vuitton to expand his business and eventually, in 1885, he opened the first Louis Vuitton store in London.
