Portrait
Barrie

Founded in 1903, Barrie is one of Scotland’s oldest cashmere manufacturers. The mill in Hawick, a small town on the Scottish border, started by producing socks and stockings, and then, by the 1920s, extended its savoir-faire to clothing, specifically sweaters and knitwear. The House’s tradition and technique are paired with a strong taste for innovation and boldness. This is why, as well as supplying the biggest names in fashion including Chanel, Barrie launched its own brand in 2014. A graduate of LISAA, School of Art and Design, he then joined the CHANEL studio, working alongside Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, focusing on sportswear.

Background

Founded in 1903, Barrie is one of Scotland’s oldest cashmere manufacturers. The mill in Hawick, a small town on the Scottish border, started by producing socks and stockings, and then, by the 1920s, extended its savoir-faire to clothing, specifically sweaters and knitwear. The House’s tradition and technique are paired with a strong taste for innovation and boldness. This is why, as well as supplying the biggest names in fashion including Chanel, Barrie launched its own brand in 2014. Thanks to the vision of Barrie’s artistic director Augustin Dol-Maillot – a former collaborator of Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard –  the most gorgeous items in cashmere take front and centre in contemporary lifestyle. 

 

Signature Style

Covetable, elegant products crafted with the best fibres, made to last a lifetime. Each piece is made by skilled artisans following ancient techniques. Some garments are knitted on the Bentley Cotton knitting looms that were specially created in the 1960s to enhance the texture and finesse of the fabric. The Parisian studio provides the creative impulse for fashionable, contemporary styles including 3D knits and trompe-l’oeil pieces that define Barrie’s unmistakable signature. Both graphic and modern, the collections blend classic lines with a light streetwear touch: it’s the cashmere revolution!

 

Showstoppers

“The beauty of the challenge, is that the technical feats always push creativity ever further. From one stitch or one knit, we create another, and so on… Cashmere is a raw material; we have to explore its infinite possibilities, says Augustin Dol-Maillot. Alongside the clothing collections, Barrie launches a selection of gorgeous accessories for the home including some covetable cushions.
