Snag Tights (the size-inclusive tights brand) has announced their brand new limited-edition, 10-piece collection in partnership with Care Bears, – using illustrations of the original 80’s cartoon characters.
The collection was inspired by Founder, Brie Read’s love of the iconic TV show as a child. After the challenges of the pandemic, Snag decided that now was the perfect time to create a brand new collection with characters that celebrates ‘caring, helping, and how to be aware of the feelings of others around us.’
Items will be available in sizes 4-38, and they’ve been designed to ensure that the cartoon characters never distort when worn, regardless of shape or size. In keeping up with Snag’s ongoing commitment towards genuine inclusion and diversity, the campaign imagery also features differently-abled models.
Brite commented on how the original cartoon characters are ‘particularly special’ to her, because they were created by a female illustrator. The collection has been created using Snag’s special super-stretchy yarns (to ensure no snagging or sagging), and they’re tailored to each individual customer, due to their unique three-dimensional fit (based on height, dress size, and body shape).
The new range will be comprised of 8 vibrant pairs of tights, and two adorable washbags (perfect for washing and storing hosiery). Each item in the collection features a different Care Bear character, including: Funshine Bear, Cheer Bear, Tender Heart Bear, Better With Love Bear, Good Luck Bear, Care a Lot Bear, Grumpy Bear, and Wish Bear.
This is the first ever licensed collection for the retailer, as they continue to expand their product offering, – not only in the hosiery sector, but also in other areas of apparel, too. This exciting new move promises to move Snag Tights closer towards their over-arching mission of creating fashion which is truly inclusive, ethical, sustainable, and accessibly priced for all.
Snag was Founded four years ago by Brie Read, after she realised how difficult it was to find tights that fit, that are comfortable to wear. And following the recent launch of Snag’s innovative recycling scheme, all of their tights (including the new Care Bear range) can be recycled in order to help reduce waste within the fashion industry.
All customers have to do is gather up any old Snag Tights they wish to recycle, and post them back to Snag. Once received, they will be turned into permanent industrial components, bringing Snag’s hosiery full-circle, – closing the loop.
Brie Read CEO said: “We are THRILLED to announce our brand new licensed collection in partnership with Care Bears – an incredibly iconic TV programme for so many of us that grew up in the 80s and 90s!“
“The Care Bears have always held a special place in my heart. I adored them as a child, and I love what they stand for. Their stories showed us how to bring love and happiness into even the hardest of hearts, and so given the challenges we have all experienced over the course of the pandemic, this message seemed more important to share with our customers now, than ever before.“
The award-winning size-inclusive retailer achieved 3733% growth in their first three years of trade. They’ve already fulfilled more than 500,000 orders from 50+ regions outside the UK.
