Last year I caved and bought the short Barbour by Anya Hindmarch Minx Jacket. An investment at the time but it has definitely served me well so far, and as it’s a bit of a classic I hope it has many more years of wear in it yet.

If you’re a fan of SL you probably won’t have failed to notice that we’re pretty big fans of Barbour’s collaborations and the last two Barbour by Temperley collections have been high on all of our wish lists. This season I’ve had my eye on the Buckinghamshire Wax Jacket with Leather Sleeves but at £549 (and a wedding and honeymoon to save for) it’s a little out of my budget.

I was pretty chuffed this morning then to see that Zara had reproduced (it was a sell out a few months ago) their version of the Leather Sleeve Parka and at a much more palatable £79!

Now that I might be able to justify...
