Burberry is the British fashion house founded in 1856 that makes Burberry sunglasses.
Thomas Burberry established the company in Basingstoke, England, in 1856. The business became especially associated with weather-resistant outerwear and later with gabardine, a tightly woven fabric patented by Burberry in 1888. The trench coat became one of the company’s defining products.
Burberry’s product range eventually expanded into accessories, including sunglasses. Eyewear collections commonly incorporate the house’s check pattern, equestrian-inspired branding or the Burberry wordmark, though individual designs vary by season.
Burberry is distinct from Mulberry, another British luxury brand with a similar-sounding name. It is also separate from Barbour, which is known for waxed jackets and outdoor clothing. The 1856 founding date belongs to Burberry.
