1856: Burberry was founded 150 years ago when the 21-year-old Thomas Burberry, a draper's apprentice, opened a small outfitters shop in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. He was very ambitious and saw himself as more than a "supplier of clothing".
Since its founding, Burberry has been synonymous with quality. Burberry eyeglasses balance classic sensibility with modernity and infuse quality with style to make these core values relevant for now and future generations.
