Jellycat Unveils Summer 2026 Collection: Get Ready for a Splashing Drop on 12 May
Jellycat has officially confirmed that its Summer 2026 collection will drop on 12 May 2026, and the full lineup has now been revealed. With nautical and ocean themes dominating the wave, this is shaping up to be one of the London-based brand's most cohesive and collectible seasonal releases in years.
The Full 12 May Lineup
The confirmed new arrivals span the Amuseables range, the Bartholomew Bear family, and an entirely new cast of sea creatures:
- Amuseable Sun 'Roller Skates' — A retro-styled grinning sun character mounted on classic quad roller skates, blending the brand's food-and-object plush expertise with a playful 1970s aesthetic.
- Amuseable Fancy Carp — A shimmering koi fish featuring iridescent fabric fins and Jellycat's signature corduroy belly panel. Expected to be a standout display piece.
- Pinchsnap Crab — A chunky, tactile crab with oversized felt claws and a textured shell. Early previews suggest this will be one of the most 'squishable' designs in the wave.
- Bartholomew Bear Seafarer Outfit — The beloved Bartholomew Bear gets a new nautical jumper with anchor detailing and a miniature captain's hat accessory.
- Puddlesea Bunny — A pastel-toned bunny with a seashell-print fabric and floppy, oversized ears in a sandy beige tone.
- Keli Pelican — A tall, characterful pelican with a fabric fish peeking out of its expandable beak pouch.
- Roarwell Sea Lion — A sleek, silvery sea lion with whiskers and flippers in contrasting plush textures.
- Maffles Manatee — A round, gentle manatee in dove-grey plush with an embroidered smile, positioned as the 'gentle giant' of the wave.
Pricing and Availability
Jellycat has not yet published official UK RRP prices for the full wave, but based on existing Amuseables pricing, collectors should expect the range to sit between £18 and £32 depending on size. The Bartholomew Bear outfit is likely to be priced separately at around £12 to £15. The collection will be available on jellycat.com, through authorised retailers like John Lewis, Hamleys, and Harrods, and at the brand's new UK pop-up stores.
