Checked leather for Burberry autumn-winter 2025
Luxury brand Burberry’s autumn-winter collection includes a new range of Highlander bags in intarsia check leather (pictured) and a Bridle bag that fuses saddle shapes with bridle-inspired hardware.
In shoes, shapes synonymous with the countryside come in weaves and embossed leathers. Cavalier and Ledger boots are cut in embossed and intarsia leather.
Last year, new CEO Joshua Schulman insisted the brand needed to go back to its heritage lines to revive flagging sales, focusing on outerwear and trench coats, and pulling back from leathergoods.
In July, it reported first quarter revenues falling 6% to £433 million. Despite this, Schulman noted “strength in core categories” and that there had also been “an uptick in brand desirability”.
In the new collection, raincoats take centre stage in viscose blends, corduroy and cropped embossed leathers. There are quilted jackets in geranium print, while scarves with chunky fringes are integrated into jackets in shearling and alpaca blends.
