The Burberry Checks are up there in icon status with the likes of Louis Vuitton Monogram and the Chanel CCs. There is more than meets the eye with Burberry Checks, though. Here, we break down the history, and the different types of iconic Checks you may see from this historically popular house.   

When Burberry comes to mind, we instantly imagine traditional tartan patterns and London-esque attire. After all, the name is synonymous with class and iconic British heritage. Even more so, it is a brand with an enormous rich history. Founded just two years after Louis Vuitton in 1856 by Thomas Burberry (at just twenty-one years old), Burberry takes pride in its military roots and its commitment to technological advancements and sustainability. In fact, they have a goal “to procure 100% of electricity from renewable resources to power its whole business by 2022” – and that’s right about now. 

When it comes to investing in ultra-luxury, Burberry is a coveted brand with quality-made products that never go out of fashion. Their pieces not only hold value for a long time, but Burberry makes luxury accessible.
