John Smedley, Wales Bonner launch knitwear collection

British knitwear manufacturer John Smedley and London-based fashion label Wales Bonner have released their second co-branded collection for Autumn/Winter 2026. The new capsule combines Wales Bonner’s distinctive design approach with John Smedley’s long-standing experience in fine knitwear manufacturing.

The range includes fine-gauge cotton and merino wool polo shirts in both short- and long-sleeved styles. The colour palette features different shades of blue, brown and ivory.

Grace Wales Bonner also drew inspiration from John Smedley’s extensive archive while developing the collection. With more than 240 years of British knitwear history, the archive provided references that were adapted into contemporary designs for the latest collaboration.
