Eight new ranges from Briers
Glee Stand 19H10

Briers, the UK’s leading garden gloves, wellington boots, children’s gardening products and giftware supplier, has launching a raft of brand new products to boost retailer’s offerings for 2018.

 

New outdoor fashion brand - Sandley

The latest in countryside fashion, drawing inspiration from country shows and the classic blue and white stripes of classic British kitchenware, the Sandley range is the latest brand from trend-led footwear and glove specialists Briers. 

The Sandley collection features three unique boot styles – the Sandley Rubber Boot in blue with yellow sole, the Sandley Half Rubber Boot in Green with Yellow sole and theclassic Sandley Rubber Boot Blue Stripe, each pair available in ladies’ sizes 4,5,6 and 7 for £37.99 RRP.  Each boot features a buckle to provide a snug fit and unmistakeably classic country style.  The Sandley Knitted Boot Sock (£6.99 RRP) in blue, features a natural wool mix and to keep your Landrover (or Toyota Yaris) clean, there’s the Sandley Boot Bag (£12.99 RRP) in blue with yellow piping and double zip.

 

New Signature Range - Allium

This new collection takes Briers’ best-selling gloves, clogs and kneelers, and updates them with fresh in-house designs.  Using their links to EFSA (European Floral and Lifestyle Suppliers Association), the Briers design team were able to gain insight into next season’s trends including the latest Pantone colours, chosen by EFSA’s trends agency NellyRodi.

Featuring a delicate and simple design inspired by the latest colour trends, the Signature Range is inspired by the life cycle journey of British ornamental favourite Allium, from tender seed, ornate flower head, to final dried and graceful form.

Brand new gloves include: Briers Allium Blue Seed & Weed (RRP £4.49), Allium Purple Lady Gardener (RRP £12.99), Allium Purple Gauntlet (£14.99), Allium Cotton Triple Pack in blue, purple and green (RRP £11.97) and Allium Blue Rigger (£6.49 RRP).  An Allium Purple Garden Clog (sizes 4-8, £15.99), Allium Blue Kneeler (£15.99) and Allium Blue Kneepads (£9.99) – all decorated with the new pattern - complete the latest signature range. 

 

New from Julie Dodsworth – Lavender Garden

A renowned artist who paints and creates her original patterns on her canal boat Julie Dodsworth is launching her third range of gloves, accessories and gifts with Briers at Glee this year.  The Lavender Garden pattern features lavender purple and subtle leafy greens, laid over a crisp white background. 

The range includes a Julie Dodsworth Lavender Garden Premium Rigger (£8.99 RRP) with hard wearing leather grip, Premium Comfy Glove (£8.99 RRP) designed for comfort and long lasting use in the garden and Cotton Triple Pack (£11.97 RRP), featuring unique variations on the main pattern. 

Lavender Garden Clogs (£17.99 RRP) come in ladies’ sizes 4-7, as do Wellington boots (£37.99) which feature a stylish purple sole and side buckle for extra comfort.  The Garden Bag (£15.99 RRP) is ideal for Julie Dodsworth’s Lavender Garden tools, which include a Fork (£6.99 RRP), Trowel (£6.99 RRP) and Drop Forged Secateurs (£6.99 RRP) – as well as Secateurs, Knife and Pouch set (£24.99 RRP).  A Lavender Garden Kneeler Cushion (£16.99 RRP) is also available for added comfort when weeding and deadheading - machine washable with handy carry handles at either end.  Lavender Garden joins Briers’ other Julie Dodsworth ranges ‘Orangery’ and ‘Flower Girl’.

 

Pantone Range

Instantly recognisable, with a wide unisex appeal, Briers Pantone range features three colourways; Bluebell, Parsley Green and Rich Berry, each carefully chosen for their long-term desirability, timeless style and complementary nature.  

Each colourway has a Pantone Umbrella (£8.99 RRP), Watering Can (4.5tr, £19.99 RRP) and String in a Tin (£5.99 RRP), with Allotment Boxes (£24.99 RRP) and Gardener Gloves (£12.99 RRP) in Rich Berry and Bluebell onlyA Seed & Bulb Tin in Rich Berry (£11.99 RRP) completes the offering, alongside the Herb Pots (£11.99 RRP) and a Stainless Steel Fork, Trowel and Secateurs set (£24.99 RRP) which both feature all three Pantone colours.

New Kids products

Briers Kids range remains the largest fully compliant range in the UK, and is set to grow further with new additions such as the Briers Kids Table, Chairs and Parasol Set (RRP £34.99).  Keeping in line with the rest of the range’s bright orange, green and blue colour scheme, this product features steel frames and tough double-stitched fabric. 

The set comes with two Briers Camping Chairs (RRP £7.99 each) which are also available separately, ideal for using in the garden or on the campsite.  Allowing babies and toddlers to join elder siblings, the Briers Kids Picnic Blanket (RRP £11.99), 118 x 100cm, is made from super-soft fleece, is machine washable and rolls up with a Velcro flap and handle for easy transportation. 

Briers Kids Windmills (available in large RRP £5.99 and small RRP £3.99), are fun for young children taking their first steps outside and ideal for children’s parties.  The Kids Boot Bag (RRP £7.99), which comes with a Velcro secured flap features a joined double zip for easier access, has also been launched to compliment Briers’ Kids Bright Boots and Clogs.  A new children’s single dipped glove, ‘Aidan’s Glove’ (£2.99 RRP) designed by a young competition winner, has also been launched and aims to raise funds for one of Briers’ favourite charities, Greenfingers.  30p is to be donated from each glove, with the funds going towards creating Greenfingers gardens, helping families that rely on children’s hospices.

 

Premium gloves

The Briers Premium Leather collection showcases the best of British country style.  Three classic patterns have been added – Leather Herringbone Grey, Herringbone Beige and Checked Brown, together with Lined Hide all (size large, £14.99 RRP).  Another Briers classic has also had an upgrade, in the form of the Premium Hide Rigger in Blue, (£8.99 RRP).  Available in large and extra-large sizes, this workhorse features real leather construction in the palm and fingers, making this the toughest rigger glove yet.

 

Flex & Protect

The latest in technical gardening gloves is the Flex & Protect from Briers.  Available in two colourways, Red (medium, £9.99 RRP) and Grey (large, £9.99 RRP), and made from high specification synthetic materials that are strong as leather but soft as cotton – these gloves are ideal for both intricate and heavy duty tasks.

Added comfort and protection is enabled through integral padded knuckles and palms, breathable areas between forefingers, and extra protection between the thumb and forefinger.

 

Bamboo gloves

On the face of it the new Briers Bamboo Gloves seem to be a simple combination of the much loved and trusted Briers style, with the latest on-trend colourways.  But under the label hides a multitude of extra features and a considered move towards using natural materials, using bamboo fabric around the palm, back of the hand and wrist.  These highly dextrous premium quality latex tipped gardening gloves are ideal for a wide range of tasks – and temperatures - thanks to bamboo’s deodorising nature, and prominent thermo effect.  Bamboo is as sustainable as it is abundant, and is fast growing with relatively little investment in cultivation in regards to water or labour.  Briers’s Bamboo Gloves are available in small, medium and large – and come in three different grip colours – purple or blue with standard bamboo fabricand black with green bamboo fabric (£5.99 RRP each).
