Iconic British heritage brand Barbour have teamed up with one of my favourite designers, Alice Temperley, to create a new premium womenswear range for AW11, Barbour Gold Label
Barbour Gold Label by Temperley seamlessly blends Barbour’s classic styles and fabrics with Alice Temperley’s timeless and quintessentially British glamour, resulting in a capsule collection featuring five different styles of jacket in wax, leather and down filled quilt and three pieces of chunky knitwear. Time-honoured Barbour jackets are given a typically Temperley twist with leopard print linings while feminine fitted peplums on leather biker inspired jackets add an elegant touch.
Steve Buck, Managing Director, Barbour, said “Barbour Gold Label is an exciting move forward for us in developing our womenswear range. We are delighted to be launching this collection with Alice Temperley. Alice is synonymous with exquisite and beautiful craftsmanship. She adds a directional and fresh look to Barbour Gold Label while still remaining true to our heritage. Alongside the jackets, the beautifully detailed knitwear is sure to create attention, as interest in Barbour as a lifestyle brand, continues to grow.”
Alice Temperley said “I was very honoured to be asked by Barbour to work on this collaboration. I have worn Barbour all my life, having grown up in the countryside. The brand has an amazing British heritage, and it is fantastic to produce a capsule collection which combines this with Temperley’s more modern British roots.”
The Barbour Gold Label by Temperley collection will be available from selected Barbour and Temperley stores and premium wholesale stores worldwide.
