Limited Edition Beacon Brand by To Ki To
Product Description
Barbour has teamed up with Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida to launch a new limited-edition Beacon Heritage Range for autumn/winter 2009.
Consisting of five wax and three waterproof jackets for men, the Beacon Heritage Range was inspired by Barbour’s rich archive, which goes as far back as 1908. Renowned for the detail that he adds to his garments, Tokihito has added his own signature design to Barbour’s distinctive style to create a unique collection that includes a wax Trench Coat, Bicycle, Horse Riding and Driving jackets. Each jacket is beautifully crafted with a wealth of extraordinary features to delight the clothing aficionado.
A graduate from Kuwasawa Design School, Tokihito previously designed for companies including Mens Bigi, Harolds Gear and Blades Savile Row in Japan before founding his own brand, To Ki To, in 1997.
“We are delighted to be working with Tokihito on this exciting men’s collection,” said Claire Saunders, head of marketing for Barbour. “These are uniquely engineered fashion pieces developed from Tokihito’s extensive knowledge and love of British outdoor clothing combined with Barbour’s unique craftsmanship.” Targeted at fashion forward consumers, the Barbour Beacon Heritage Range will be available in a select number of independent retailers throughout the U.K. and across Europe and the U.S.
