The Burberry Check


A signature

The Burberry Check first lined our raincoats in the 1920s, but it was the 1960s that saw it become the icon that we know today.



A flash of inspiration

In 1967, a buyer in our Paris store became inspired whilst preparing a fashion presentation for the British Ambassador. She removed the Check lining from a coat and used it to wrap luggage and create an umbrella cover. The Check accessory was born.


Legacy

The Burberry Check is a marker of our history, our craftsmanship and enduring British style.

 

 


The Burberry Check cashmere scarf was introduced in the 1970s and has become one of our best-known accessories.

The check was then used for ready-to-wear, featuring prominently in our campaigns throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and is now a registered trademark. Over the decades, the Burberry Check has seen many iterations.


Ingrained into British culture, the Burberry Check has impacted cultural movements over the years. It continues to be an important brand signifier today.


Under the creative direction of Daniel Lee, the Burberry Check is set on the bias and updated in new colourways and fabrications.
