Out here, the details emerge gradually. Weathered stone scattered across open paths. Rippling water catches the shifting light. Long grasses bending in the wind. The meeting point between land and sky feels wide and uninterrupted, each step revealing surfaces and textures formed over time.

There’s a different rhythm to walking through the Yorkshire Dales. One that only reveals itself when you slow down.

For SS26, ELLIKER returns to its roots with Journey Through Texture, a campaign shaped by a gentle hike across the landscapes that first inspired the brand. Moving slowly through the Dales, the collection explores the quiet relationship between movement, material and the natural world.

The journey becomes less about the destination and more about the experience along the way.

Moments spent watching clouds roll across a reservoir. Skimming stones across still water. Pausing to write, sketch or simply sit with the landscape. These quiet rituals shaped the mood behind the SS26 collection.

Designed to move easily between urban life and the outdoors, the season introduces a balance of familiar silhouettes and new technical pieces built for everyday exploration.

Leading the accessories offering are three new bags. The lightweight Bain Sling for daily essentials, the versatile Nidder Roll Top Crossbody for larger carry needs, and the hike-ready Rigg Hydration Backpack, designed for longer days on the trail.

Across apparel, the collection expands with illustrated graphic tees inspired by the natural world. The Bird Print and Bluebell Print join the returning Bug Print, continuing ELLIKER’s visual documentation of the outdoors.

The Altson Shirt, first introduced in SS25, returns in new colourways alongside a new long-sleeve version, reinforcing its place as a seasonal staple. Layering options arrive in the form of the Hudswell Pullover Grid Fleece Hoodie, designed for cooler spring evenings, and the Arkle Zip Softshell Jacket, built to handle the unpredictable shifts of Yorkshire weather.

Completing the collection are two new lower-body silhouettes: the Thrin Cargo Tech Trouser and the Sayer Belt Tech Shorts, both designed with movement and functionality in mind.

Throughout the collection, sustainability remains central to ELLIKER’s approach. Bags are crafted from recycled polyester made from plastic bottles, transforming waste into durable materials built for long-term use.

Ultimately, Journey Through Texture is a reminder that the outdoors does not need to be rushed. That inspiration often appears in the quieter moments. And that sometimes the most meaningful journeys are the ones taken slowly.
