Cashing in on its status as a much loved British Heritage brand, Barbour have designed some pretty kick-ass products in time for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations. Check out the timely re-modeled, bestselling Barbour Union Jack International Swarovski jacket, for which Barbour have cleverly teamed up with crystal giants Swarovski, resulting in a little glistening Union Jack Swarovski Elements flag nestling upon the chest pocket. They've also added a super cool Union Jack lining which is so undeniably awesome that I'd probably turn the whole thing inside out. Snap it up quick though if you've got the cash because its a limited edition piece. Investment? Oh, I do think so.
Oh, and one more thing, if your finding it hard to sheathe yourself in enough Britishness to double as a patriotic mascot, try one of these bags or (perhaps the hat?) on for size. Think of all the other celebratory Jubilee trinkets you could keep inside!
I'm so excited about this weekend's Jubileecelebrations that I'm determined to make Wandering Threads a haven of British heritage inspired happiness, if only for the coming week. I'm a proud Brit - cue friends rolling eyes as I gush once again of my love for all English traditions and heritage - so its only right that I should add a stream of celebratory Britishness to this here page. Despite economic woes, the past year has already seen a surge in patriotic fervor with all the hype surrounding the Royal Wedding last May (yes, of course I was there - I booked my flight to India the week after most deliberately!),
Sadly though, I'm missing the fabulous festivities back in the UK by but a few weeks as I am currently still slaving away in Sydney to fund my return. Nevertheless, I shall watch the media avidly from afar, cheering on old Liz in her 60th anniversary of her accession. So in the meantime, to kick start the festivities I bring you this montage of Britannia inspired awesomeness. Get your colours ready! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
