At StevieLicksx®, we don't add brands to our shelves lightly. Every label we carry has been chosen because it meets a standard we believe in — quality that lasts, design that's considered, and a brand story worth telling. Barbour is all of that, and then some.
A British Icon, 130 Years in the Making
Barbour was founded in 1894 in South Shields, on the northeast coast of England. What started as outfitting fishermen, sailors and dock workers in waxed cotton has become one of Britain's most enduring heritage brands — still family-owned, now in its fifth generation under the Liddle family.
The brand holds Royal Warrants from King Charles III and the late Queen Elizabeth II. That's not a marketing badge — it's a reflection of over a century of consistent quality and craft.
What makes Barbour remarkable isn't just its history. It's that the brand has never chased trends. The silhouettes, the tartan linings, the signature wax cotton — they've remained largely unchanged because they don't need to change. They work.
The Dog Collection — Same DNA, Built for Your Best Friend
When Barbour extended their heritage into the pet world, they did it properly. The dog collection carries the same design codes as the iconic human range — the Barbour tartan, the quilted linings, the earthy olive and navy colourways that have defined the brand for generations.
The Barbour Wax Dog Coat, the quilted styles, the waterproof options — each one is designed to move with your dog, protect them from the elements, and look genuinely beautiful doing it. For New Zealand dogs who walk in the rain, explore the bush, and come home muddy — these coats were made for them.
Collars & Leads — Heritage Down to the Last Detail
Beyond the coats, Barbour's leather collar and lead collection brings the same heritage sensibility to your daily walk. Rich leather, classic hardware, that unmistakable Barbour tartan detail — the kind of accessories that only get better with age and wear.
Whether you're walking the waterfront or heading into the hills, a Barbour collar and lead is the kind of thing you buy once and keep for years. That's exactly the kind of product we look for at StevieLicksx®.
Why We're Proud to Stock Barbour in New Zealand
We search for brands that are built on something real. Not fast fashion, not trend-chasing, not disposable. Barbour has been making things that last for 130 years — and that's the kind of brand we want in our boutique.
As proud New Zealand stockists of Barbour's dog collection, we're delighted to bring this iconic British heritage brand to NZ dogs and their owners. If you've ever worn a Barbour jacket yourself, you'll understand immediately. If you haven't — trust us, your dog is about to find out what all the fuss is about.
