9. Burberry
If you can believe it, Burberry has been around longer than cars have. Thomas Burberry founded the company in 1856 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, selling high end outerwear.
The company then opened its first store in 1891, to huge success. Over 100 years later, the brand still remains as strong, if not stronger, than ever, with multiple sub-labels including Burberry London, Burberry Brit and Burberry Prorsum.
Their famous coat made of peacock feathers sells for around $35,000. This London based luxury company screams “old money” with their signature khaki trench coats and plaids.
Anyone who has ever questioned whether or not the clothes make the person only need to give Burberry a try.
In 2014, the company reported a net income of over $323 million.
