Hillier Bartley is an all-new fashion line started by former Marc by Marc Jacobs crew members Luella Bartley and Katie Hillier. The line features luxury pieces that have a British tailored theme realized with tailored suits, posh jackets and boxy hemlines that offer an androgynous aesthetic to the female wearer.
The line features a mix of luxurious fabrics and whimsical design inspiration coming together to create pieces that are contrastingly delicate yet also very masculine. The line includes items such as dainty black bunny leather clutches, tailored wool suit jackets with dramatic matching bellbottom pants, dainty white bow ties and coral silk blouses with high shoulders. The line boasts high prices as a luxury collection but as many of the pieces are staple and high-quality, it could be worth the investment.
