The Thomas Burberry Monogram
An Ode to Our Founder
Based on our founder’s initials, the TB Monogram symbolises our continued connection to Thomas Burberry. Born in 1835, Thomas founded Burberry at just 21 years old. Regarded as a visionary, he created gabardine – the iconic fabric of our Heritage Trench Coats.
An Emblem of Style
With archival roots matched by contemporary design, the TB Monogram brings an enduring and unmistakable touch of Burberry to a myriad of styles and silhouettes, whether as hardware on our Lola bag and accessories or as a bold print.

The Making of the Monogram
On his appointment at Burberry, Riccardo Tisci discovered a selection of 20th century TB logo motifs in the Burberry archive. Evoking the spirit of our founder, they were the inspiration for our new Monogram.
Tisci collaborated with iconic British graphic designer Peter Saville to create the Monogram. It appears throughout Riccardo Tisci’s collections for Burberry, seamlessly celebrating our heritage through a distinctly modern lens and establishing a new house code that will endure.
