Barbour

Our exclusive Barbour tartans have their own story to tell. One that started 130 years ago when John Barbour travelled from Dumfries to South Shields. Our tartans are a reflection of both the spirit of the British countryside and our heritage. 

For AW26, we follow along on a new journey to rediscover the people, beauty and heart of the land that continues to inspire us today. Join our characters played by Sir Idris Elba and Sienna Miller as they head to the Pentland Hills, where a simple mix up over identically named pubs sends them on separate adventures through the countryside. 

Woven throughout, our exclusive Barbour tartans draw on the colours of the land, lines crossing just as our characters’ paths do. In the local pub, in the fields or stuck in the rain, our tartans are part of everyday life. True to our original sett, they act as a seal of authenticity that’s carried through the collection, from knitwear and shirts to skirts and accessories.

In the end, it’s chance encounters, acts of kindness and a helping hand from nature that 
shapes the two friends’ journey so they can find their way, the Barbour way.
