Building on strong momentum across the UK and Europe, the creative house will present more than 800 products, including over 300 new launches, introducing three new brands while delivering significant newness across every one of its established collections.

Spanning home fragrance, stationery, entertaining, men's gifting, beauty and pet, the AW26 collection reflects the continued evolution of Designworks Collective's portfolio, bringing together fresh ideas, exciting collaborations and commercially focused collections designed to help retailers create standout displays and inspire customers throughout the season.

Joining the Designworks Collective family for the first time are Archipelago, Hijinx and Speckle & Spot.

Premium Californian home fragrance brand Archipelago makes its European debut with a curated selection of its most iconic fragrance collections, while Hijinx introduces a colourful new world of beauty, stationery and playful gifting designed in Bath, England. Completing the trio is Speckle & Spot, a fun new pet gifting collection that marks Designworks Collective's first move into one of retail's fastest-growing lifestyle categories.

"AW26 represents a significant step forward for Designworks Collective. It's our biggest and most commercially exciting collection to date, bringing together three new brands, over 300 new products and the first collaboration between two of our own brands. Every launch has been developed with one goal in mind – helping our retail partners create exciting retail experiences that encourage customers to discover, shop and come back for more. We can't wait to unveil the collection at Home & Gift."

Among the season's biggest talking points is the first-ever collaboration between two Designworks Collective brands. A Dopo × Here's How combines the joyful Mediterranean-inspired artwork of Paddywax's bestselling A Dopo collection with Here's How's entertaining range to create a beautifully coordinated capsule of almost 30 tabletop and homeware pieces. Buyers visiting Home & Gift will be among the first to preview the collection ahead of its October launch.

Paddywax continues to build on the extraordinary success of A Dopo with three striking new designs — Koi Fish, Blue Cheetahs and Mermaid & Moon — alongside the introduction of A Dopo XL, a dramatic four-wick statement candle offering over 160 hours of burn time. Seasonal favourites also receive significant investment, with new additions across Bistro and Cabana, expanded Christmas collections and the launch of Premium Matches, a beautifully illustrated programme of twenty collectible matchbox designs available in three formats.

Designworks Ink expands its award-winning stationery collection with elegant new Framed Floral journals featuring die-cut window covers, alongside additions to its Marble collection and new Reading Journals that have already generated strong retailer interest.

Gentlemen's Hardware continues to build on its gifting success with fresh music, golf and Western-inspired collections, while Here's How extends its entertaining offer with colourful new tabletop accessories designed to bring personality, creativity and fun to every gathering.

With more than 800 products on display, including launches across all seven brands, Designworks Collective's stand promises to be one of the season's must-visit destinations for buyers looking to discover the latest in design-led gifting, home fragrance and lifestyle.

Visitors can explore the complete AW26 collection, enjoy an exclusive first look at forthcoming launches and meet the Designworks Collective team on Stand DP1-B15 at Home & Gift, Harrogate, from 19–22 July.
