Today, we have announced the appointment of Joshua Schulman as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director. Joshua replaces Jonathan Akeroyd who is stepping down and leaving the Company with immediate effect by mutual agreement with the Board.

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

In celebration of our new bag, the Rocking Horse, and our new store at The Landmark shopping centre in Hong Kong, we have taken over The Landmark’s MO Bar and transformed it into the Burberry Knight Bar.    From 26 June – 14 July, furniture and fixtures will be dressed in Knight Blue alongside neon light installations in our iconic Equestrian Knight Design.    Guests can also enjoy a traditional British dining experience and take away customised QR codes to redeem a gift from our store vending machine, including horse-shaped clips and new seasonal Burberry Check totes.    Discover more about our takeover of the MO bar here: https://lnkd.in/ewA5gwqa

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.
