The Launch of Burberry's D K 8 8 C O L L E C T I O N

Oh yes, you may have peeked this collection when it graced the runway as part of the February 2017 show in London.

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 iconic collection has been etched into Burberry's permanent lineup of collectives—expanding their already brilliant repertoire of goods.

“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

Checking out a few key elements:

  • Completely unisex—YES
  • Features seven different styles at launch including satchel and luggage-inspired shapes, anchored by a classic top handle bag in two sizes. All styles come with an adjustable leather crossbody strap to allow for hands-free carrying.
  • Colour palette ranging from black, dark navy, honey tan, antique red and dark forest green, to painterly hues of slate blue, blossom pink, ash rose and celadon green.
  • Made in Italy, the new Trench Leather is embossed with a unique pattern reflecting the distinctive twill finish of cotton gabardine, the cloth Thomas Burberry patented in 1888, and which is still used today to make Burberry’s signature made-in-England trench coats.
  • Selected designs feature an oversize brass tone lock, and an internal pocket made especially for the accompanying key.

The full collection is now available globally in store and on Burberry.com, and will evolve with new sizes, styles and colours.
