Burberrys
|
BurberrysBurberry Group plc is a British luxury fashion house, distributing clothing and fashion accessories and licensing fragrances. Its distinctive tartan pattern has become one of its most widely copied trademarks. Burberry is most famous for its iconic trench coat, which was invented by founder Thomas Burberry. The company has branded stores and franchises around the world, and also sells through concessions in third-party stores.
Burberry was founded in 1856 by travelers when 21-year-old Thomas Burberry, a former draper's apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By 1870, the business had established itself by focusing on the development of outdoors attire. In 1880, Burberry introduced in his brand the gabardine, a hardwearing, water-resistant yet breathable fabric, in which the yarn is waterproofed before weaving. Burberry was the original name, but then the company soon switched to using the name Burberrys, after many customers from around the world began calling it Burberrys of London. This name is still visible on many older Burberry products. In 1891, Burberry opened a shop in the Haymarket, London, which still exists and until recently was the site of Burberry’s corporate headquarters. Now the headquarters are at Horseferry House just behind Houses of Parliament, Westminster (London). Links |
Belle Jardinière

Belle JardinièreBelle Jardinière is the sign of a chain of clothing stores that developed in France in the nineteenth century. A small haberdasher from La Cité, Pierre Parissot established Quai aux Fleurs in 1824, a trade made clothing, sold at a fixed price. The invention of the sewing machine by Barthélemy Thimonnier, allowed Parissot significantly to expand his business.
The store grows gradually and the capital has reached 3 million francs in 1869 with the arrival of his nephew Adolphe. Mare Marguerite Lescot, daughter of Adolphe, married Albert Shield who became the CEO. By 1930 the capital had reached 196 million francs and saw the transformation of the company into a corporation. The store concept offered the finished garment at a price adapted to the new middle-class clientele and was a great success so that the little shop of 1824 became the source of one of the first independent chains. By 1840 the brand had 190 outlets and 322 in 1860. Establishment of school uniforms made them are like the Collège Stanislas in Paris. During the First World War, they sold military uniforms for French and allied officers. La Belle Jardinière ceased its activity in the 1970s. Links |
