Brand History & Trademark Analysis
Harrods Limited was incorporated on 20 November 1889. The original house mark derives from Charles Henry Harrod's handwriting in 1849. The store's name is so closely associated with luxury retail that "Harrods" has become adjectival in British English, used to describe the upper end of any market.
