Building on the success of their Spring-Summer 24 runway collaboration, British heritage brand Barbour and London-based fashion house ERDEM announce a five-piece capsule collection for spring. This collection merges Barbour’s legacy of practical, utilitarian outerwear with ERDEM’s signature femininity, forming a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.
“I was inspired by the extraordinary Barbour archive, particularly their fabrications and hardware,” says Erdem Moralioglu MBE, Creative Director of ERDEM. “I loved the idea of translating their heritage of practical, utilitarian details and combining it with my language of the feminine.”
The collection features four key outerwear styles, each reflecting the brands' identities. The Beauflower jacket reimagines the classic Barbour Beaufort waxed jacket, mixing patchworked waxed cotton with an inky rose bloom overprint. The Dhalia plays with proportions, introducing an exploded peplum waist and a detachable tartan hood, along with an etched floral overprint that evokes ERDEM’s romantic aesthetic. The Clover, a reversible swing jacket in dry wax cotton, showcases Barbour’s iconic tartan lining paired with a striking overprinted grass-green rose motif. Lastly, the Constance wax jacket combines ERDEM’s tailored silhouette with utilitarian details for a refined, functional piece.
These four outerwear styles are available in sand and olive colorways, with the Dhalia, Clover, and Constance jackets also offering a detachable hood featuring a checked interior and floral overprint for added versatility. What's brilliant about these pieces is that you truly won't find them anywhere else.
In addition to the Barbour x ERDEM capsule, the two emblematic brands have launched a ReLoved initiative. As part of this initiative, twenty-five vintage Beaufort jackets have been carefully restored and reimagined, adorned with oversized cord collars and silver hardware eyelets. These reworked pieces, taking inspiration from the aforementioned ERDEM Spring-Summer 2024 runway show, will be available exclusively at Harrods.
Available from January 2025 on Barbour.com and select retailers, the Barbour x ERDEM, with its quality, sustainability, and timeless design, is one collaboration you don't want to miss. Furthermore, Barbour’s Wax for Life program offers maintenance services to extend the life of their jackets making the heritage brand a valuable addition to any wardrobe. Through this sustainable program, Barbour offers clients the opportunity to send in their jackets for re-waxing and repairs at its South Shields factory, allowing for outerwear to be enjoyed for many years.
In the end, this lasting collaboration celebrates two distinctively British brands, pushing the boundaries of outerwear while respecting the past together. The result is pieces that are truly unique offering for modern wardrobes.
