Historical Context
Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, the British fashion house built its reputation on timeless craftsmanship and functional design. While best known for inventing gabardine and creating the iconic trench coat, Burberry expanded into accessories throughout the late twentieth century, bringing the same emphasis on quality, refinement, and enduring style to its eyewear collections. Vintage Burberry frames remain celebrated for their classic silhouettes and understated luxury.
