Yes, it's TRUE! This lovely Burberry wallet is being given away with NO strings attached. This entry is by invitation only so go here to enter:
British Invasion
Before the Beatles reached across the pond to the United States, Thomas Burberry reached around the globe to Antarctica. In 1911, his clothes and equipment outfitted Captain Roald Amundsen, the first explorer to reach the South Pole, and solidified Burberry's reputation as a leader in functional fashion.
Surprisingly, this globetrotting brand began in a small town in the English countryside. In 1856, a twenty-one-year-old sportsman and draper's apprentice opened an outfitters shop in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Frustrated by the dearth of comfortable raincoats, he invented a lightweight, water-repellent fabric and coined it gabardine, a Shakespearean term for a shelter from inclement weather. An instant hit, gabardine became the basis for the now iconic Burberry trenchcoat.
Burberry soon became synonymous with polished British style and expanded into womenswear, accessories, fragrance and even home decor. In 1956, the label was recognized with a Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth II, and it received another from the Prince of Wales in 1989. Fortunately, despite its wild success, the brand has remained true to its roots, continuing to produce simple-but-stunning creations with a streamlined aesthetic. From clothing to bags, Burberry truly offers a shelter from the storm.
