Fall of 2008 will be the debut of the new line for women that is referred to internally at Burton as, Burton Streetwear. This new line was designed by in-house ladies designer, Linda Lovemade. Linda is no stranger to building from the ground up as she designed and launched the first women’s Obey line back in 2003 and then moved on to play an instrumental role in launching Luxirie by LRG.
The inspiration behind the new women’s line is drawn from Burton’s hi-tech features like hidden pockets and detachable/reversible amenities found in their outerwear, but applying them so that they are entirely functional in addition to being fashionable. The Burton Streetwear line makes use of all types of premium fabrics such as genuine leather, technical nylons, and luxurious cashmere. Those materials are then utilized to create some very fashion forward looking silhouettes that give the female consumer a solid line to turn to this fall.
Artist Mark Ward was chosen to participate in Burton’s ongoing Artist Series.

Back in late 2006, The Brown Buffalo started working with some new ideas on paper. Uninspired by the current status of pack and luggage design in the snow market, The Brown Buffalo worked with Burton to design CityLine. The idea was to build upon a daybag line that was specific to the end use while taking a step away from the traditional aesthetics of the snow pack design. After a number of concepts, round-tables and work within the collective process, The Brown Buffalo narrowed it down to a group of bags that reflected the brand. Here are some of the images of those styles for Spring 2008. Check out more pictures at www.thebrownbuffalo.com.
Since Burton’s inception, it has gone on to be among the defining leaders in its arena. Whether it comes down to apparel, hardware or accessories, Burton has always been committed to offering the best products. Their updated selection of various bags has started hitting retailers. Bags come in a variety of prints over different bag sizes and functions. Available now at mischief.
