Burberry

Burberry is an ultra high-end fashion brand that was first founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856, at the young age of 21. Burberry’s first store was located in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. Several years later, in 1891, Burberry opened up another shop in Haymarket, London. The site of the Haymarket shop would later become Burberry’s current corporate headquarters.

The “Burberry Check”, also known as the “Burberry classic check” or “Haymarket check”, epitomizes the signature Burberry style. Originally used as the lining of the Burberry trench coat in 1924, the unmistakable check pattern did not become the trademarked staple of the company until the late 1960s.

Today, distinguished Burberry handbags are among the most coveted of all. The daunting price tags associated with these luxurious purses are an indicator of just how in demand they really are. In Hollywood, Burberry bags are the elite of the elite, carried by the likes of Nicky Hilton, Victoria Beckham, and other affluent celebrities.

Fortunately, thanks to Bag, Borrow, or Steal, you don’t have to be a megastar to show off a lavish Burberry bag.
