Anthropologie's Exclusive Holiday Collection

Anthropologie, the globally recognized lifestyle brand, has just launched an exclusive holiday home collection in collaboration with the talented writer and advocate Suleika Jaouad, alongside the award-winning musician Jon Batiste. This exquisite collection focuses on the theme of gathering, perfectly capturing the essence of seasonal celebrations.

A Unique Collaboration

Unveiled on October 15, 2026, this special release marks the first collaboration between Suleika and Jon with Anthropologie Home. The 46-piece collection includes a variety of items spanning tabletop essentials, unique decor, and functional furniture pieces. Each item reflects the couple's artistic vision, cultural heritage, and their passion for hosting gatherings that nourish both body and soul.

John Murphy, Executive Creative Director of Anthropologie Home, expressed his excitement about working closely with Suleika and Jon. He noted how their deep connection to creativity enriched every aspect of the collection's development. By choosing to shoot the campaign in their home, it provided a warm, personal touch that encapsulated their style of hosting and creating art.

Rich Inspirations

The collection is a tapestry of rich jewel tones and warm seasonal hues, featuring Suleika’s original artwork and musical motifs inspired by Jon's experiences and life. Elements of Suleika's Tunisian roots play a significant role in the design, enhanced by heritage-inspired patterns. Each piece tells a story with references to music, travel, and art, reflecting the couple's shared passions. Handwritten notes, delicate illustrations, and hidden messages invite meaningful conversations, making each item a piece of art rather than just functional decor.

Katherine Finder, Chief Merchandising Officer at Anthropologie Home, spoke to the significance of collaborating with Suleika and Jon, highlighting how they view the home as a canvas for creativity and connection. The collaboration has been a year in the making, enriched by the personal experiences of both Jaouad and Batiste, which translate beautifully into each design. As they launch this collection during a poignant moment in their lives, this collaboration stands as a beacon of hope and joy for everyone involved.

Standout Items

Among the standout pieces are:

• - A cocktail shaker featuring an innovative rotating mechanism that reveals delightful recipes and measurements.
• - A tea set inspired by Jon's daily rituals, designed to bring warmth to any gathering.
• - A custom record player celebrating the powerful bond of music in the home.

In addition, holiday ornaments have taken design cues from musical instruments, showcasing Jon's handwritten notes of musical notations. One particularly unique piece is an occasional chair upholstered in Suleika's artwork, serving as a conversation starter.

A conversation deck and dessert plates featuring affirmations and original illustrations add intimacy to this collection. Suleika and Jon expressed their desire to create objects that resonate personally, allowing others to incorporate these pieces into their own lives and traditions.

Celebrating Creativity

Suleika and Jon’s artistic connection with each piece reflects a broader commitment to nurturing creativity. Jon Batiste’s longstanding relationship with YoungArts, an organization that Anthropologie has partnered with since 2023, further emphasizes the importance of supporting emerging talent. This collaboration continuously enriches the creative community.

The Anthropologie Home x Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste collection will be available at Anthropologie stores across the US and UK and online at anthropologie.com, with prices ranging from a modest $16 for ornaments to $1,698 for a beautifully upholstered chair featuring Suleika's distinctive artwork.
