Paul Smith and Barbour's Third Collaboration Draws on Scottish Highland Games
The third collection, 'Paul Smith Loves Barbour', has been unveiled by British designer Paul Smith in collaboration with Barbour, drawing inspiration from the Scottish Highlands and the Highland Games. This collection consists of 38 pieces that showcase two classic Barbour tartans—'original' and 'authentic'—transformed in vibrant pink, orange, and yellow hues. Notable items, such as the Beaufort Jacket, utilize innovative materials like merino wool and navy corduroy. The line features whimsical touches, including printed charms and animal embroidery. The campaign stars fictional characters Paul and Baz at the Braemar Gathering. This partnership, available at barbour.com, paulsmith.com, and select retailers, celebrates British style and the brands' weather-resistant legacy since 1894, coinciding with the onset of meteorological autumn in the UK.
