Luxury brand Burberry has unveiled its latest collections, aimed at Chinese New Year (CNY) – as part of its increasing focus on China – and a ‘future archive’ that promotes leather in its footwear and accessories.

The CNY campaign stars models Liu Wen and Wang Xiangguo and highlights the classic Burberry check. It includes heritage Burberry trench coats and sports-influenced pieces, as well as new a new colour way of the Olympia bag (pictured).

The Olympia bag, a runway shoulder bag sculpted from tri-tone topstitched leather, is inspired by the architecture of show venue Olympia London.

The ‘future archive’ collection draws on the company’s heritage of outerwear. Accessories include a smooth tan leather bowling bag and trainers for men and women made of leather and suede, with a Cuban heel, in black and beige.
