WACKOMARIA × BARACUTA: BACK FOR SS26

Baracuta presents the latest chapter of its collaboration with the Tokyo-based label WACKOMARIA, reaffirming a partnership that has developed across recent seasons. The project brings together two brands with distinct identities, connected by a shared respect for authenticity and clarity of design.

Founded in Manchester in 1937, Baracuta created the original G9 Harrington jacket, a silhouette that has quietly moved through decades of music, film and contemporary culture. It remains an object closely associated with British heritage and craftsmanship, appreciated as much for its enduring construction as for its measured design.

Established in Tokyo, WACKOMARIA approaches clothing through a different cultural lens. Drawing from music, cinema and art, the label has developed a strong visual language defined by confident pattern, considered tailoring and the recurring presence of its leopard motif. The result is clothing that carries a clear point of view while remaining grounded in craft.

This collaboration builds on the dialogue between those perspectives. The G9 Harrington remains the foundation of the project: its structure, proportions and technical details are preserved, while WACKOMARIA introduces subtle shifts in material and pattern that bring a new character to the silhouette.

The Collection

The collection presents two interpretations of the G9 Harrington jacket.

The WACKOMARIA × Baracuta G9 is available in classic black and burgundy (Andorra), retaining the exterior restraint of the original design while revealing WACKOMARIA’s signature leopard motif as the interior lining. The contrast remains
discreet, visible only in movement.

Alongside it, the WACKOMARIA × Baracuta G9 Leopard offers a more direct expression of the collaboration. Here the leopard pattern moves to the exterior, creating a distinctive surface while maintaining the construction, proportions and technical elements that define the G9 Harrington.

Both pieces are developed using WACKO MARIA’s original pattern, combining the Tokyo label’s perspective with Baracuta’s established silhouette. The result is a meeting point between British heritage and Japanese design sensibility, now available to purchase here.
