BARBOUR × THE T & L DIARIES
Escape to the Countryside
Made for the outdoors. Styled for life together.
An autumn couple story set amongst the Yorkshire countryside.
Yorkshire · 15 September 2026
THE SETTING
Somewhere quieter.
On 15 September, we’ll be leaving home behind for a night in a secluded shepherd’s hut surrounded by the Yorkshire countryside.
With winding roads, open landscapes and miles to explore just outside our door, it creates a natural backdrop for an early-autumn story centred around getting outside and spending time together.
We’d love to partner with Barbour to capture that escape — bringing iconic British outerwear into the kind of countryside moments it was made for.

THE CREATIVE CONCEPT
Escape to the Countryside
A cinematic couple diary following us as we leave everyday life behind and spend a September afternoon exploring the Yorkshire countryside — with Barbour becoming part of the journey from the moment we step outside.
LEAVE
Pulling on our jackets, grabbing the essentials and heading somewhere quieter together.
ESCAPE
Driving through Yorkshire as towns give way to winding roads and open countryside.
EXPLORE
Walking, talking and discovering our surroundings — capturing Barbour naturally in motion.
RETURN
Making our way back to the shepherd’s hut as the afternoon cools, hanging up our jackets and settling in for the evening.
MADE FOR OUT THERE
MADE FOR THE OVERNIGHT
THE PRODUCT STORY
Made for out there.
Through cinematic wide shots, natural couple moments and considered product details, we’d showcase the pieces in the environment where they feel most at home.
Barbour wouldn’t simply be something we wear for the shoot. The outerwear becomes part of the experience — thrown on as we leave, worn while exploring and hung beside the door when we return.
