When did Burberry’s change to Burberry?
1 Answer

Burberry's changed to Burberry in 1999. Interestingly, the British luxury fashion house actually returned to its original name with the move. When Thomas Burberry founded the company in 1856, he chose the name Burberry, but it was modified to Burberry's during the early 20th century.

Burberry Fall 2004 Oversized Black Geometric Jacquard Unisex Shawl Wrap Scarf
By Christopher Bailey, Burberry
Located in San Diego, CA
Sophisticated vintage Burberry Fall 2004 oversized black geometric shawl, an exceptionally versatile accessory from the Christopher Bailey era. Designed in an elegant semi-sheer black textile, the shawl features an abstract geometric pattern created through contrasting sheer and lustrous woven areas. The tonal construction gives the piece dimension and visual interest while retaining the understated sophistication associated with Burberry.
Generously proportioned at 95 inches long by 27.5 inches wide, the shawl offers tremendous freedom in styling. It can be worn traditionally across the shoulders, wrapped dramatically around the body, loosely draped as an evening stole, folded and worn as an oversized scarf, or wrapped multiple times around the neck for a more sculptural effect.
The minimalist black palette and graphic pattern also make this an excellent unisex piece. On a woman, it can be styled over a cocktail dress, evening gown, tailored suit, silk blouse or minimalist separates. On a man, it would look equally sophisticated with a tuxedo, tailored overcoat, leather jacket, cashmere sweater or simple black suiting. Its generous scale allows the wearer to completely change its character depending on how it is folded, wrapped or draped.
Although identified as Fall 2004, this is genuinely a year-round accessory. Wear it as an elegant additional layer during fall and winter, over eveningwear during transitional spring weather, or loosely draped over the shoulders on cooler summer evenings. The semi-sheer construction gives it visual lightness, preventing it from feeling limited to cold-weather dressing.
It is also an ideal travel piece. The generous dimensions provide considerable coverage without the visual weight of a conventional wrap, and its neutral black color makes it exceptionally easy to coordinate with an existing wardrobe. It can transform simple separates during the day and then be restyled as an evening wrap later that night.
This is the sort of timeless wardrobe piece that transcends season, gender and occasion. Elegant without being overly formal and distinctive without relying on obvious branding, it is an exceptionally useful Burberry accessory to keep in a wardrobe for everything from travel and dinners to cocktail events, weddings and formal evenings.
