Burberry is a British luxury fashion house, manufacturing clothing and fashion accessories. In 1856 Thomas Burberry, a 21 years old draper's apprentice opened a small outfitters shop in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. A commitment to quality and innovation in fabric and outerwear design earned Burberry a loyal following and by 1870, the shop had grown into an "emporium". Today, Burberry is an internationally recognised luxury brand that has seemingly shaken its recent association with chav culture. The Burberry fragrance line is one of the most varied and select around, with popular fragrances including Touch, Weekend, London, Classic, and The Beat.
