StudioCanal Kids and Family is expanding Paddington’s global consumer-products presence with a new slate of seasonal collaborations across fashion, footwear, stationery, and gifting. The latest launches include partnerships with Kurt Geiger, Crocs, Moleskine, and Petit Bateau, as the company continues to prioritize quality-focused partnerships that reflect the character’s values.
“We are delighted to see Paddington collaborating with such best-in-class partners across their respective categories,” shares Françoise Guyonnet, CEO of StudioCanal Kids and Family. “These partnerships are a strong testament to Paddington’s enduring relevance and universal appeal, and to the values of kindness, humor and belonging that resonate so strongly in today’s world. By working with partners who share these values and bring their own distinctive creativity and expertise, we continue to find new ways to connect Paddington with audiences around the world.”
Leading the holiday lineup is Paddington x Kurt Geiger, a capsule collection of handbags, footwear, and slippers, which stars in a Christmas advertising campaign featuring Georgia May Jagger and Vinnie Jones. The collaboration is supported by international retail activations, including events on Oxford Street in London, a Macy’s pop-up in New York, and a Galeries Lafayette pop-up in Paris. Festive experiences throughout November and December will include musical performances, photo booths, and branded food and beverage offerings. Shoppers will also be able to find exclusive Paddington x Kurt Geiger Tiptree marmalade as a gift with purchase.
In Asia, Petit Bateau x Paddington debuted exclusively at Takashimaya in Singapore. The tennis-themed collection for kids features styles inspired by Paddington taking to the court, connecting the character with the excitement surrounding the ATP tennis tour.
Paddington has also teamed up with Crocs for a collection featuring the brand’s Classic Lined Clog in adult and kids’ sizes. The footwear includes Paddington-inspired details, while exclusive Jibbitz charms feature recognizable elements such as the bear’s suitcase, a London double-decker bus, and a marmalade sandwich. The collection launched Oct. 20 through Crocs and select retail partners.
For the gifting season, Moleskine x Paddington includes a limited-edition notebook, three Cahier designs, a Bundle Box featuring a Large Canvas Notebook and colored pencils, and two collectible pins. The collaboration also marks the centenary of Paddington creator Michael Bond’s birth. A Paddington Trail in London will invite fans and families to visit Moleskine stores and the Paddington Official Store, collecting stamps along the way.
The consumer products push builds on Paddington’s expanding entertainment presence. Paddington The Musical is heading to Broadway in 2027, with a Sydney production also confirmed. The brand’s entertainment portfolio also includes three feature films developed, produced, and distributed by StudioCanal, as well as the two-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning TV series The Adventures of Paddington.
