BY THE FABRIC AT THE HEART OF THE BRAND

LONDON

Burberry reveals the full assortment from its DK88 bag collection, first introduced on the runway as part of the February 2017 show in London, and celebrated in a campaign shot on location at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens in Hertfordshire. Named after the house code for the brand’s signature honey-coloured gabardine fabric, the DK88 collection features styles reimagined in Burberry’s new Trench Leather, paying tribute to the fabric at the very heart of the Burberry story. The timeless styles form a new permanent bag collection for the brand, expanding its range of iconic products.

The Small DK88 Top Handle bag

“With The DK88 we wanted to create a timeless collection of bags which would have the same spirit and attitude as the iconic trench coat. Each bag is crafted from this incredibly rich Trench Leather, which we designed to reflect and celebrate the fabric at the very heart of our brand. The result is a collection of bags in painterly colours which is defined by its contrasts – effortlessly elegant, modern yet timeless, supple yet strong – and unmistakably British.” Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer
