Burberry

At Burberry, we believe in the importance of preserving critical manufacturing skills and enabling our colleagues to develop in their roles.    To support this, we established a training facility at our manufacturing site in Castleford, Yorkshire to help upskill our colleagues. From creating buttonholes and inputting loops to advanced machine or hand-sewing, our twelve-week training programme is designed for colleagues at all levels and has offered over 10,000 hours of practical skill training to date.    Discover more about our how we support learning and development here: https://lnkd.in/eEbd4cnG

The Rocking Horse bag celebrates the equestrian world with its smooth, curved design, reminiscent of the classic childhood toy.    Hand made in Italy, the Rocking Horse’s saddle shape is crafted using precise cutting techniques and a hand curved wooden mould to create its arched body. Inspired by the hardware on horse reins, the straps feature adjustable metal prongs, which switches the design from a shoulder to a crossbody bag.     Discover more about the Rocking Horse bag here: https://lnkd.in/eewEzUmc

At Burberry, we are committed to preserving artisanal skills for future generations. To support this, we actively participate in events and initiatives that give young people insight into the diverse career pathways available within the fashion and luxury industry, including ‘Textile Futures’ last week in West Yorkshire.   During the event, members of our Internal Manufacturing team joined local textile manufacturers to discuss the roles of design, manufacturing, science and innovation in the creation of textiles. We also encouraged attendees to explore our rich heritage and the importance of gabardine, the revolutionary fabric created by Thomas Burberry, to our brand's story.
