Long rainy walks in the great outdoors to disconnect and day trips to grand stately homes.’ Part fabulous tale, part fact: for centuries, weary Londoners have escaped the churn of the capital city to breathe the clean countryside air. And legions of Londoners spill out at faraway train stations, consumed by what Lee calls ‘that slightly eccentric, somewhat bohemian need to travel – weekend luggage included. ’It’s this very same weekend luggage that Lee unpacked and unpicked as inspiration for the Burberry Winter 2025.
Rendering outdoor coats and scarves, evening wear, day wear and suits in a mix of twisted British fabrics by British makers, the collection – couched in Burberry’s values of design, innovation and skill – fuses the faded interiors and fabrics found in the great country houses of England with the de facto practical.
Country house interiors come folded into contemporary dress codes; the rugged outdoors now reframed with the ‘faded and noble’.
