When it comes to Barbour women’s, two words spring to mind; luxury and lifestyle. However, it wasn't always the case - let's take it back to South Shields, 1894 when John Barbour birthed the brand, aiming its clientele toward fisherman who needed better outerwear. Today, the fifth generation family-owned business is renowned for transforming the brand into a multi-faceted empire, Barbour appeals retains its title as a fashion favourite. Famous all around the globe, the brand remains loyal to its roots in the North East, as its classic wax jackets are still manufactured by hand in the factory in Simonside. Loved and worn by generations of the same family, Barbour’s jackets are investment pieces. With wax cotton jackets that never go out of style, its diamond quilts have roots in countryside heritage.
Moving with the times, Barbour has combined its expert craftsmanship with the modern day fashion aesthetic. Collaborations with Ganni, Palm Angels and Moncler, have brought the brand into the present day with Barbour on the runway for the first time.
Featuring an extensive range of the signature styles you’ve come to know and love, Barbour women now produce a range of contemporary pieces, such as laid back shirts, jumpers and more. Broadening out these roots, its heritage and lifestyle clothing is designed for a full lifestyle aesthetic. Whether you’re in the fields at Glastonbury with your bucket hat and wax jacket or strolling through the Christmas markets with your quilted jacket and beanie, each collection is perfect for those who prioritise comfort and style.
