Next and National Trust Launch Limited-Edition Womenswear Capsule Featuring Heritage Prints

Next has partnered with the National Trust to release a limited‑edition womenswear capsule announced on February 19, 2026, and available in the U.K. The edit translates tapestries, embroidery and drawings from the National Trust archives into contemporary prints and silhouettes, with designs drawn from properties including Belton House, Felbrigg Hall Gardens & Estate and Montacute House.

The range covers outerwear and wardrobe staples: quilted and padded jackets, flowing dresses, skirts, relaxed tops, elegant blouses and cosy knits. Prima flags a standout everyday layer, the National Trust x Next Quarter Zip Print Borg Fleece, priced at £60; the piece is described as "finished with a slouchy yet sophisticated silhouette" with roomy side pockets, a functional stand collar and an easy quarter zip fastening, and arrives in seasonal blue and pink colourways with a cosy textured finish.

Price positioning sits consciously on the high street. Express reports the collection "starts from £34," and lists the Floral Crochet Short Sleeve Crew Neck T‑Shirt at £34, made from 100% cotton and offered in sizes XS to 2XL in petite and regular fits. Express notes the crochet tee "is proving to be the most popular item in the range, so far," and records customer responses calling pieces "a great addition to my spring wardrobe" and "great value," with one shopper praising the tee as "perfect length for us ladies who like to cover the tops of their arms."

The campaign was photographed at Montacute House in Somerset, a location that also informed several of the prints and motifs used across the collection. Brand channels framed the launch in heritage terms: Facebook copy introduced the collaboration as "inspired by historic tapestries and timeless British design," while Instagram promoted a colour story, saying "the latest collection of Intertwined explores the beauty of blue through layered tones and expressive prints."

Conservation is built into the commercial model. Express states, "Through sales generated from the Next x National Trust collaboration, 5% of the selling price net of VAT will be given to the National Trust to help look after nature, beauty and history." License Global adds that every purchase contributes to conservation efforts and that the partnership will fund initiatives including a two‑year internship at the National Trust’s Textile Conservation Studio in Norfolk to train new textile preservation talent.

License Global positions the launch as the first in a planned series: "This launch marks the first in a series of themed edits, each capturing a different facet of the National Trust’s extraordinary legacy." For shoppers seeking heritage prints at accessible price points, the capsule offers archive‑forward motifs across practical silhouettes, anchored by the borg fleece and crochet tee examples; for the National Trust, the tie‑up is explicitly a route to bring its textile collections and conservation work onto the high street.
