The “Burberrys” (with the final “s”) branding confirms this piece dates to before the 1999 company name change to simply Burberry. These scarves were typically produced in the 1980s–1990s and represent the classic pre-rebrand era of the house.
About Burberrys
Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry in Basingstoke, the company invented gabardine in 1879 and became synonymous with weatherproof outerwear, trench coats, and the now-iconic Nova check (originally used as a lining and registered as a trademark in the 1920s). The brand held royal warrants and outfitted explorers and military personnel long before its modern luxury positioning. Pieces bearing the original “Burberrys of London” label are highly sought-after for their quality, denser weave and genuine British heritage.
Measures approximately 150–180 cm / 60–72 inches long (including or excluding fringe depending on listing style) × 30–32 cm / 12 inches wide.
Soft, warm and durable lambswool with the slightly textured hand-feel characteristic of genuine vintage production. Ideal for collectors of pre-1999 Burberrys or anyone wanting a classic British check scarf with proper heritage.
Care: Dry clean only (as is standard for these pieces).
