PROFILE |
 |
Burberry is mad for plaid. The 150-year-old company has long been associated with its gabardine-checked fabric, invented by founder Thomas Burberry. Burberry-lined "trench" coats, donned by British soldiers in WWI, also became a company icon. Burberry operates retail and wholesale businesses and a licensing network. Its nearly 60 company-owned stores and other high-end retailers worldwide sell men's and women's designer apparel and accessories under the Prorsum, Burberry, and Thomas Burberry names. Once seen as staid, Burberry experienced a fashion renaissance in the late 1990s and is expanding into baby clothes, blue jeans, and personal products. Great Universal Stores owns Burberry but plans an IPO of it by mid-2002.
