Barbour and The William Morris Gallery, the museum dedicated to the life and work of the influential designer William Morris, have launched an archive-inspired capsule collection.

The range brings together two quintessentially British design icons to create new outerwear and clothing with a truly authentic heritage feel. The collection blends heritage designs from the Barbour archive with two of the most instantly recognisable prints from the William Morris archive – Eye Bright and Wey Print – which were designed in 1883. Outerwear in the collection is available in classic olive and navy tones in both quilted and waxed variations, while the clothing in the range is a bold all-over print affair – ruffled and romantic, the shirts and dresses in the range are dramatic yet delicate, making them standout pieces.

Hadrian Garrard, director at the William Morris Gallery says: “We’re very excited to embark on this new project with Barbour, a brand that epitomises quality and the significance of British craft, hand-making and design. This collaboration upholds many of the traditions built by William Morris that still endure to this day.”
