JW Anderson's Leaf Slides Are the Centerpiece of Its Summer Series

Summary

• JW Anderson’s 2026 Summer Series features botanical “Leaf Slides” and Italian-crafted basket-weave mules, blending the designer’s botanical affinity with artisanal beachwear.
• The collection includes woven raffia handbags and playful crochet charms, pairing signature branded emblems with tactile, luxury materials for a craft-centered summer aesthetic.

The 2026 Summer Series from JW Anderson delivers the Northern Irish designer’s craft-centered ethos to a beach-ready collection all about open toes and tactile totes.

Leading the collection are the Leaf Slides, perhaps a subtle nod to Anderson’s Dior Lily Pad heels. Embroidered green leather insoles mimic the striations of wide palm leaves you’d see swaying on the shore. Rendered in lime-colored nubuck leather, the insoles are also padded for indoor/outdoor comfort. Also available in a brown colorway, the pair continues Anderson’s affinity for botanical-inspired design, often seen during his tenure at Loewe.

Other new footwear releases include basket-weave leather sandals like the Mule Slipper in sage green, black, and brown and the Women’s woven leather sandal in green and yellow. Crafted in Italy, the mule model has a nappa leather upper and a convertible back heel for versatile, casual styling. For a closed-toe option, the new goat suede loafer is adorned with leather ruffles at the collar and matching suede laces.

The intricately basket-woven leather textile is also transferred to the JWA Loafer handbag silhouette, while other bags are comprised of woven raffia and colored beads that depict JWA’s signature emblems. Though the beaded handbags come in monochromatic colorways, the JWA anchor appears on the straps, adding a playful branded detail to the pared-back design. The collection is topped off with accessories, including crocheted insect and iguana charms, and chain-linked shades.
