Barbour

Barbour is a British luxury and lifestyle brand founded in 1894 by John Barbour in South Shields, England. The brand originated by producing weatherproof outerwear, such as oilskins and waxed cotton jackets, catering initially to fishermen, sailors, and dockworkers who needed protection from harsh North Sea weather. Over the years, Barbour evolved from functional workwear into a globally recognized fashion house known for its iconic waxed jackets and durable, stylish outerwear that blends heritage craftsmanship with modern design. Still family-owned, Barbour upholds deep-rooted values centered around quality, heritage, sustainability, and integrity. Their collections now include tailored, versatile womenswear that transitions seamlessly from country to city, exemplified by refined yet practical pieces with timeless British countryside style. The brand is also noted for its commitment to sustainability and ethical manufacturing practices, reinforcing its legacy of responsibility alongside enduring style and innovation.
