British heritage brand Barbour has opened its first store in Ukraine, launching on April 10, 2026, on Lesia Ukrainka Boulevard in Kyiv. The new boutique is also among the largest Barbour stores in Europe, covering approximately 400 square meters across two floors.
The store features the brand’s full product range, including menswear, womenswear, and the Royalty Dog Collection for pets.
Investment details for the opening were not disclosed by Isola Distribution, the company responsible for the launch. However, according to Malls.rent co-founder Serhii Zaika, average renovation and furnishing costs for such tenants typically range from $500 to $1,000 per square meter.
Founded in the late 19th century in England, Barbour is best known for its waxed and quilted jackets, worn by members of the British royal family and international celebrities including David Beckham and Sarah Jessica Parker.
In 2025, Barbour reported revenue of £350.8 million, up 9% year-on-year, according to The Industry Fashion. In November 2025, Ukrainian designer Ksenia Schneider created a custom collection for the brand.
Isola Distribution is the exclusive official distributor of Barbour in Ukraine. The company reportedly spent nearly three years negotiating exclusive rights with the brand.
