The Barbour x Brompton C Line Explore comes in a custom Amble Sands paint finish – said to be “inspired by the beautiful stretch of shoreline near Barbour's base in South Shields” – with gold decals.

The range also includes T-shirts (£46.95) and several bags. The Barbour x Brompton Wax Holdall (£199), for example, is a 24-litre bag that’s designed to fit securely on the front of a Brompton.
