Barneys enjoys huge renaissance in natural materials

The collection includes a vintage women’s asymmetric biker jacket in soft, battered and washed leather to create a worn appearance and texture, while shortened epaulettes and silver metalwork give the jacket a contemporary twist.
There is also a men’s loose bomber jacket with checked lining, soft leather and smart collar, zip and button detailing.
Commenting on the collection, Barneys co-founder Richard Arron says: “Leather has always been iconic in the worlds of music, film and fashion. We’re now experiencing a huge renaissance in natural materials such as leather and shearling. The discerning consumer is defying the fad for disposable fashion and wants to invest in a luxurious piece that will last a lifetime but always stay on-trend. The Barneys collection fits perfectly with this ethos, with its contemporary take on timeless yet edgy designs made from quality leather.”
