🎉 Happy 125th Anniversary, Barbour! I've had a Barbour for as long as I can remember, and I'm wearing it in so many of my happiest memories. And I meet a lot of people who say the same. It's no wonder, though! The iconic brand is deeply rooted in so many families; Barbour itself is a five-generation, family-owned business.⁣
⁣
(I think my happiest #Barbour memory, btw, is getting stuck in the rain with Mitch, Emma and Lucy this past summer in Chicago. We initially all tried to take cover under my Beadnell, which I always have stashed under the stroller. But then we just embraced it, and we danced and sang and laughed in the downpour. I remember thinking that moments like that one are what life is all about! ♥️)⁣

For its 125th anniversary, Barbour has reworked some of its most-loved and timeless pieces from a century of archives, and made some awesome updates to them! The collection is amazing. Representing the family's fourth generation, the best-selling Barbour Icons Liddesdale Quilted Jacket (which I'm wearing here) was first introduced in 1979 and was called the "Countryman." It was developed as a lightweight, practical and warm garment that would have both rural and urban appeal. Wear it in the fields or out riding... but wear it in the city, too. I love that it works in so many different settings!⁣
⁣
Barbour was founded by the Barbour Family, and the company originally supplied English mariners with oilskins. In the late 1960s, after her husband passed away suddenly at the age of 29, Dame Margaret Barbour took the reigns. Today, she is credited with growing the company--originally known for its rural clothing--into a lifestyle brand for men, women, children, celebrities and fashion icons alike. (And dogs. We can't forget the dogs. 🐶) Barbour is now sold in 40 countries worldwide!⁣
⁣
Happy 125th, Barbour. Here's to many more!⁣
