Jaguar and Land Rover have used iconic cars and moments from the rich heritages of both brands to inspire new merchandise collections, which are available to explore and order online and at Jaguar and Land Rover UK retailers from today.

The exciting new collections include a variety of new and innovative products ranging from top quality apparel to stylish watches and branded accessories.

Lindsay Weaver, Director of Licensing and Branded Goods for Jaguar Land Rover, said:

"The new Jaguar and Land Rover collections combine exceptional design and originality with outstanding quality. In addition to a stunning range of heritage‑inspired products, we have also created new core and lifestyle ranges which continue to be stylish and relevant."

The Jaguar and Land Rover 2016 merchandise collections build on an accomplished variety of premium products launched to date, that have proved increasingly popular with customers online and at Jaguar and Land Rover retailers. 

Land Rover Heritage range ‑ https://shop.landrover.co.uk/newest‑collection

This collection celebrates the 60th anniversary of the First Overland crossing from London to Singapore; an incredible first‑time expedition comprising six students from Oxford and Cambridge Universities who embarked on a record‑breaking journey in two Series I Land Rovers on 1st September 1955, taking them exactly six months and six days to complete. 

With a colour scheme inspired by the two vehicles used by the students, a light blue and dark blue to commemorate the colours of each university, the collection includes; a vintage leather jacket, an expedition jacket, T‑shirts and polo shirts, long‑sleeved checked‑shirts for men and women, a specially designed watch with vintage leather strap, small and large Globetrotter trunks featuring the route‑map graphic print inside, with a set of replica expedition stickers, enamel mugs and a range of luggage including backpacks and weekender bags.

The extensive collection celebrates not only the achievement of the courageous and inspiring team on the expedition, but the iconic vehicles that made it all possible. This spirit of adventure is captured perfectly in the exclusive selection, with hints of the style that swept the 1950s.
