Check out top British heritage label Barbour’s latest childrenswear collection for Autumn/Winter 2011. 

Everyone from country bumpkins to city boys have one, even fashionista Alexa Chung is a fan; in recent years the Barbour has become an unlikely staple in the wardrobe of many.  And their kids collection is sure not to disappoint as it’s full of the classic favourites in mini-me sizes.

With over 100 years in the business, Barbour really do know a thing or two about practical yet stylish country dressing.  Their jackets are still made in the UK with impeccably high standards, quality fabrics, and luxury finishes, making Barbour the ultimate in British Heritage chic.

For little ladies we recommend the classic quilted Liddesdale. With its corduroy collar it’s slightly smarter than the other designs, meaning it will look as much at home in the city with riding boots and denim as it will on the farm.  It also comes in fantastic bright colours from pink to sky blue – she’ll be spoilt for choice.

And for the little gents it has to be the classic waxed Beaufort jacket, favoured by farmers and fashion-types alike.  The traditional olive colour will fit seamlessly into his existing wardrobe, and the waterproof fabric will keep him warm and dry throughout the winter months.

Whether it’s a country break to the Cotswolds, an afternoon in the New Forest, or a winter walk in the woods, make sure your little one wraps up warm in a practical yet stylish Barbour.  They are timeless, suitable for all ages, and get better over time, making them the perfect hand-me-down from big brothers and sisters too.
