“It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate our iconic brand – from our origins as a tea merchant and grocer to today, a destination for any occasion and across every luxury category. Harrods has been a permanent presence in this ever-changing city for 175 years, it’s a moment to mark that, as well as looking towards what the next 175 years will hold ” says Michael Ward, Harrods managing director, describing Burberry with its roots in “British culture, rich history and heritage” as the “perfect partner.”
