You wait ages for a corker of a high street/designer collaboration to come along – and then two arrive at once. Hot on the heels of the excellent M&S x Bella Freud collection, the latest Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch drop arrives online and instore on the morning of the Thursday 21 November 2024. It is the perfect blend of the classic, minimal pieces that the Japanese high street stalwart is famed for – perfectly cut wool and cashmere jumpers, cosy thermal socks – and Anya Hindmarch’s trademark quirky, quintessentially British design flourishes.
Like the veteran London designer’s debut collection for the store last November, this new Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch majors on winter warmers, making it perfect for Christmas present buying – and, of course, self-gifting. It’s a bijou, considered range, with 11 womenswear pieces, most in multiple colourways, including, new this year, a coat. There are also four pieces for kids aged 3 to 13 years – a jacket, jumper, socks and a hat. The Get The Gloss team can confirm the excellence of this collaboration – rare is the day when there’s no one in the office wearing either a jumper or socks from the first collection; it’s our unofficial uniform. Word to the wise though: don’t shrink your beloved jumper in the washing machine like I did.
When does the Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch collection go on sale?
The morning of Thursday 21 November 2024. Uniqlo won’t confirm a specific time but last year’s first drop went live online around 6am so set your alarm! And we’re told that select items from the collab will be available in all UK Uniqlo stores.
How much does the Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch collection cost?
Instead of forking out 500 quid for a handbag, you can now own a Hindmarch design for just £7.90, in the form of a very cute pair of socks. Prices go up to a reasonable £109.90 for a 100 per cent cashmere jumper. Good value all round.
Luxe knitwear
This classic cashmere sweater comes with a few Anya twists, including googly eyes, exposed seams and cosy thumbholes. Uniqlo’s cashmere is the best on the high street – it lasts longer and pills less than any other brands I’ve tried. Available in red, pink, grey, brown and navy.
