Marcel Wanders has launched a collection of accessories for the British retailer Marks & Spencer.

Launched at the London Design Festival 2011, this Christmas range includes accessories for men and women, confectionary, cosmetics, homeware and decorations.

The “Marcel Wanders for M&S” collection will be displayed in store in a unique Marcel Wanders-designed gift shop.

Marking the first time that M&S has worked a single designer to create a collection, the aim of Wanders’s range is to excite and surprise customers for Christmas with gifts that are both inspiring and individual.

A Teddy Bear nightlight with an illuminating nose is one of the highlights in the collection. There is also a set of interchangeable cufflinks that depict King Henry VIII and his six wives, as well as a pair of red leather “golf finger” gloves.

There are more than 150 uniquely designed gifts in the “Marcel Wanders for M&S” collection and available in 60 of the retails shops, as well on online.
