KSENIASCHNAIDER представляє колаборKSENIASCHNAIDER presents a collaboration with Barbour Ukraine, the legendary British workwear brand that “embodies the spirit of the British countryside since 1894″. Collaboration continues KSENIASCHNAIDER’s upcycling approach — reworking archival garments to give them a new form while preserving their authenticity.

The limited collection features two women’s Barbour jackets, customized in KSENIASCHNAIDER’s Kyiv studio:

ALLERSTON WAXED JACKET —
A classic Barbour silhouette reinterpreted with KSENIASCHNAIDER’s signature denim patchwork. Upcycled denim inserts are combined with Barbour’s iconic waxed cotton — the brand’s own invention. The tartan lining has been preserved as a tribute to the original construction, while custom labels, hardware, and metal details carry KSENIASCHNAIDER’s distinctive character.

ERMA WAXED JACKET —
A playful, ironic take on a classic: decorative embroidered leaf patches appear as if left behind after a walk through the forest. The piece is further customized with new hardware, metal accents, and KSENIASCHNAIDER-branded details.

“We’ve always admired Barbour foremost for its style, it simply looks beautiful and confident. For any designer, it’s a dream to connect with something so timeless and iconic. We’re inspired by how Barbour turns utility into aesthetics — practical, durable pieces that become cultural artifacts. The way Barbour garments age, carry stories, and stay relevant across decades deeply resonates with KSENIASCHNAIDER own values of upcycling and design longevity. Barbour’s deep local roots, quiet strength, and ability to be both democratic and elevated — this is the kind of fashion that doesn’t chase trends but builds legacy and we feel honoured to add our Ukrainian voice to this story.”
— shares Anton & Ksenia Schnaider.
