A New Dawn: Spring '26

A Collection Shaped by Light and Movement

A celebration of colour, fabrication, movement and mood. Spring ’26 is a collection shaped by tactility, where pure linen, fluid viscose, textured cotton, and softly structured crepe create a wardrobe that responds beautifully to the season. Each piece is designed to move with the body and feel natural to wear, bringing a sense of ease and quiet confidence.

The Linen Story: Craft, Weight, and Character

Linen runs through the collection as a defining thread. From waffle linen jackets and boxy tops to twisted linen trousers and crinkle cross dye dresses, it appears in multiple weights and finishes. Sometimes crisp and architectural, as seen in our Twisted Linen Jacket, sometimes softened with viscose blends, it holds shape while remaining comfortable against the skin.

Our linen is sourced from specialist European producers in the linen belt and woven to exacting standards, which is what gives it its distinctive texture and longevity. The waffle weave brings subtle structure. Double face crinkle adds depth. Micro gingham and grid constructions create surface interest without relying on print. These are fabrics chosen not simply for appearance, but for how they wear over time. Our linen improves with age, softens beautifully, and becomes part of your wardrobe for years.

Prints Inspired by Place

Print remains central to Sahara’s visual language. This season draws once again from Morocco, revisiting tiled courtyards, woven textiles, and hand worked surfaces that have long informed our design approach.

Ikat influenced motifs appear in vivid patchworks and circular cotton sets, creating rhythm through repetition and colour. Mosaic inspired arrangements, seen in the Coloured Glass Tiles print, form layered grids that shift as the garment moves. Linear repeats and cross dye treatments add depth by layering tone rather than relying on sharp contrast.

A Closer Look at Pattern and Surface

Each print carries its own spirit, yet the collection feels cohesive, alive with movement and texture. Vivid Ikat Patchwork pulses with saturated color and painterly energy, while Ikat Circles offer a quieter, more graphic rhythm, their motifs resting lightly on crisp cotton. Diamond Tie Dye drifts across textured jersey, soft and diffused, as Painted Spots and Colour Play spark moments of artful spontaneity. Through it all, Floral Jacquard cotton whispers its story in the weave itself, the raised surface adding a subtle depth that invites the eye to linger.

Across the collection, texture plays as strong a role as pattern. Surface interest is built into the cloth, whether through pleating, embroidery, jacquard weave, or crinkle finishes. It’s craft as construction, not decoration.

Colour with Intention

The palette moves confidently between sky blue, cerulean, and cobalt, through pale pink, lilac, lime, and putty. Brighter notes such as aqua and cerise lift the neutrals, while black and monochrome check anchor the collection with clarity.

The result is a cohesive colour story that allows pieces to mix easily across fabric groups. Linen trousers pair naturally with viscose print tops. Cotton jacquard dresses sit comfortably beside raffia accessories. The tones have been chosen to work together, making styling instinctive.

Silhouettes That Feel Familiar Yet Refreshed

Bubble trousers and dresses create volume through cut rather than excess. Long line coats and boxy jackets bring structure with ease. Tunics, shirts, and relaxed knit tops reinforce the emphasis on everyday wearability.

These are shapes that feel recognisable within the Sahara wardrobe, reworked through new fabrications and colour. They offer adaptability across travel, work, and weekends without losing their sense of purpose.

Craft and Continuity

Accessories complete the narrative. Handwoven raffia bags and hats, intricate jewellery in gold plated and natural stone finishes, and leather footwear from Lofina bring edge and character to every look.

Many garments remain proudly Made in England, alongside pieces created by our long-standing global makers and ateliers, partners who have worked with us for years and are very much part of the extended Sahara family. That continuity of relationship is integral to the collection, ensuring consistency in quality and shared commitment to craft.

A Wardrobe Designed for the Season Ahead

Spring ’26 unfolds in layers of texture and pattern: linen in multiple weights, Ikat reimagined through patchwork and circles, grids expressed in both print and weave, and fabrics shaped to move with the body.

Together, these elements create a collection alive with intention - a wardrobe defined by movement, color, and craftsmanship, ready to catch the light and warmth of the season ahead.
