Barbour x Feng Chen Wang Channel the Year of the Horse With a Mythic Fashion Drop

Barbour x Feng Chen Wang Year of the Horse Collection Launch

British heritage meets Eastern mythology — and the result is pure fashion alchemy.

Barbour has officially joined forces with London-based Chinese designer Feng Chen Wang for a limited-edition capsule collection celebrating the Year of the Horse. The collaboration reimagines Barbour’s iconic outerwear through a poetic, folklore-driven lens — infusing centuries-old craftsmanship with Wang’s emotionally charged, culturally rooted design language.

This is not just another heritage remix. It’s storytelling stitched into waxed cotton.

A Mythical Rework of Barbour’s Icons

At the heart of the collection are two re-engineered Barbour classics:

  • Porter Waxed Jacket — reimagined with intricate embroidery

  • Fendale Quilted Jacket — available in “Rustic” and “Olive”

Both silhouettes feature detailed embroidery of the Dragon Horse (Long Ma) — a legendary creature from classical Chinese literature that symbolizes bravery, power, and freedom. The mythical motif transforms Barbour’s countryside codes into something cinematic, symbolic, and globally resonant.

The capsule extends into:

  • Gingham check shirts

  • Graphic T-shirts

  • Sports caps

All grounded in a palette of red and gold accents, traditional symbols of prosperity, luck, and renewal.

When British Countryside Meets Chinese Folklore

For Feng Chen Wang, the collaboration is deeply personal. As a student in London, Barbour jackets became part of her everyday uniform — a symbol of her British experience and creative evolution.

“The design merges the mystique of the British countryside with the richness of Eastern mythology,” Wang shared.

That fusion is felt in every detail: utilitarian silhouettes elevated by spiritual symbolism, heritage fabrications layered with emotional storytelling.

A Lunar New Year Fashion Moment

With Lunar New Year fashion drops becoming a major cultural moment on the global style calendar, Barbour x Feng Chen Wang delivers a capsule that feels meaningful, collectible, and fashion-forward — not just festive.

The collection is priced between $85 USD and $780 USD and is available now via Barbour’s official webstore.

Because in 2026, heritage doesn’t just get preserved — it gets mythologized.
