‘It could only be…’ – BARBOUR Women’s Modern Heritage S/S ‘24, produced by LS PRODUCTIONS

Inspired by the Scottish roots of the company founder, the BARBOUR Modern Heritage collection stands for timeless elegance. In other words: traditional Barbour looks with a modern twist. The visuals for the BARBOUR Women’s Modern Heritage S/S ‘24 collection were produced by LS PRODUCTIONS for photographer Barry Craske.

Barbour, founded in 1894, is the brand name of products from the company J. Barbour & Sons, a manufacturer of weather-proof outerwear made of waxed cotton as well as quilted jackets, duffle coats, sweaters, shirts, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and children. Best known and extremely popular to this day are the company’s waxed jackets which are sold under the brand name Barbour.

Besides the manufacture of new clothing, the Barbour company also has a repair service for its waxed jackets, which are known to be extremely durable. Men’s magazine Esquire reported in 2019 that around 14,000 jackets in England are sent in for repair each year as well as a further 11,000 in North America and Asia. Customers want to wear their waxed jackets for a lifetime. Repair orders are only accepted up to a maximum repair time of two hours. Past this time limit, the company recommends purchasing a new jacket.

The company is still headed to this day by Margaret Davies, the widow of John Malcolm Barbour, who died at an early age in 1968, and whose ancestor John Barbour founded the company J. Barbour & Sons in 1894. Originally a teacher by profession, she reinvented the company. She turned the company’s rustic clothing, traditionally designed for seamen, river workers, motorcyclists and submariners of the Royal Navy, into very fashionable accessories in the 1980s and beyond.
