Founded in 1894, heritage brand Barbour and Paul Smith are launching an exclusive capsule collection for the Fall/Winter 2012 season for both men and women. Faithful to the look of both labels, the clothing line will pay close attention to small details and its design will be inspired by the British style. Whilst preserving their own individual identity, the two brands found a way to complete each other and brought their savoir-faire together to create various different pieces.
