BURBERRY: A global luxury brand with international expansion.
Burberry is a global luxury brand that was established in 1856 by Thomas Burberry. It focuses on creating luxury clothing, accessories, fragrance and beauty products mainly for hedonic consumption. Based on the information from the company's website, Burberry opened its first store in London, establishing in this way its brand identity as an iconic and luxury brand with international presence. In 2011 Burberry expanded into e-commerce activities with the launch of its new website in over 40 countries.
