Christopher Bailey's Spring-Summer 2015 menswear collection for Burberry was inspired by the books of travel writer Bruce Chatwin. To coincide with the collection, Burberry produced a limited edition set of works by Chatwin. Six books - In Patagonia, On the Black Hill, The Viceroy of Ouidah, Utz, What am I Doing Here and The Songlines - are bound in a different colour and patterned hand-printed cloth designed by Burberry and inspired by Chatwin's travels. All housed in a custom slipcase and limited to 280 sets.
