Barbour is a British company established in 1894 and presently managed by the fifth lineage of John Barbour’s successors. Before evolving into a staple of metropolitan vogue, the brand’s renowned waxed cotton overcoats were donned by anglers, gamekeepers, and planters. The prominent shift of these jackets into the essential daily attire of fashion devotees arose from the urge to emulate the style of the royal household – Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth II, and Kate Middleton have showcased Barbour jackets and capes at public engagements repeatedly. Moreover, the celebrated advocate of the label encompasses model and trendsetter Alexa Chung, who even collaborated with them on the conception of a joint assortment of more refined Barbour × Alexa Chung jackets.

And lately, awareness arose concerning the alliance of the British trademark with KSENIASCHNAIDER, who actualized their distinctive upcycling strategy by tailoring two women’s coats – the Allerston Waxed Jacket and the Erma Waxed Jacket.

The Ukrainian trademark appended denim patchwork to the classic Allerston design: this is how Barbour waxed cotton material and KSENIASCHNAIDER denim fragments were united. Every one of the original segments of the coat, such as the tartan-patterned lining, were preserved and enriched with tailor-made tags, trimmings, metallic components, and distinctive hallmarks. On the other hand, on the Erma jacket design, as opposed to denim patchwork, the iconic details were autumn leaf appliqués.
