Budget supermarket Aldi has revealed its new ‘high fashion’ Christmas collection, with prices starting from as little as £1.49.

The Aldimania Winter Collection of jumpers, socks and onesies was launched over the weekend with an online catwalk event.

Strutting down the aisles of fruit and veg, models showed off the new festive clothes, which are plastered with Aldi branding for the first time.

The collection includes a white cropped jumper covered in reindeer and the Aldi logo, priced at £9.99.

The Aldimania hoodie previously worn by Tommy Fury is also coming back, for £14.99, which sold out in minutes when it went on sale in April.

Shoppers will also be able to order fleece tops and trousers and Christmas socks from Aldi.

Julie Ashfield – Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK – said: “Following the success of our Aldimania range earlier this year and huge demand from shoppers for more, we really wanted to take the collection to the next level by, not only expanding the range, but unveiling it with our very own high fashion catwalk.

Aldi reveals date that viral Kevin the Carrot Christmas toys return to UK stores this week

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Aldi has revealed the long-awaited date that its viral Kevin the Carrot toy range will be back in UK stores for the festive season.

We can’t deny it now, it’s officially ‘that time’ of year again.

The shelves of supermarkets nationwide are filled with festive food, drink, and gifts from top to toe, Christmas adverts are being released thick and fast, and Manchester Christmas Markets are now officially open and spreading seasonal cheer right across our city, so it only seems fitting that Kevin the Carrot will soon be making his return.

Aldi’s unofficial – or you could say official at this point, let’s be honest – Christmas companion has become an absolute fan favourite over the past few years, appearing on the majority of the retailer’s Christmas adverts and being turned into different themed products and merchandise along the way.

By far the most popular of those themed products has to be the Kevin the Carrot plush toys, which have been known to have shoppers queuing outside their local stores on release day.

Bound to sell out almost as soon as they hit the shelves once again this year, Aldi has now confirmed the date Kevin will be back.

Kevin the Carrot will be returning to the Specialbuys section in the legendary ‘Middle Aisle’ with an assignment to “make this the best Christmas possible”, according to the retailer, from this Thursday (14 November), and shoppers will be able to collect all the characters from this year’s Aldi Christmas advert.

The Christmas Plush range starts from just £2.99 each, and includes Kevin himself, alongside his pal Katie, “like you’ve never seen them before”.

You’ll also be able to get Humbug plushies, little tree decoration plushies, and also the new ‘My Pal Kevin the Carrot’ too, who has long arms and legs and is described as being “the perfect Christmas companion”.

Shoppers looking to get their hands on the Christmas Plush range are being advised to “act fast”, as with all Aldi Specialbuys, it’s a case of “once they’re gone, they’re gone”.

Tiffany & Co opens glittering new store within Selfridges at the Trafford Centre

One of the world’s most famous jewellery brands has opened a dazzling new store at Selfridges, as the Trafford Centre welcomes Tiffany & Co.

This heritage brand now has a presence on the lower level of the luxury department store, selling its most recognisable items. 

The glittering new Tiffany & Co space is just beside the San Carlo champagne bar.

And although it’s tucked right in the heart of Selfridges, Tiffany & Co has gone to the effort of recreating the iconic windows from the New York flagship store, building a blue mosaic wall with window displays inside. 

Shoppers will be able to perch on plush cream-coloured stools to try on items from its four Icons collections – HardWear, Lock, T, and Knot –  before carrying your purchase off in that instantly-recognisable Tiffany blue bag. 

Founded more than 180 years ago, Tiffany & Co is synonymous with New York City but loved globally. 

The heritage brand’s T collection was inspired by the grid system of the streets and avenues of Manhattan, it helped to design the dollar bill, and also designed the invites for the opening of the Statue of Liberty.

The Tiffany setting was the first engagement ring to have the diamond displayed on the band (which is now the standard) rather than embedded within the band – even the emoji on all our phones is a ring design invented by Tiffany & Co. 

It was the first jewellery designer to bring 925 sterling silver to the USA and it remains proud of its silver pieces. 

This is also the only jewellery name with full traceability of its diamonds, and rejects a whopping 0.04% to ensure only the highest-quality gems are used in its jewellery, cutting them for beauty rather than size.

The brand has a lot of famous names associated with it – Dua Lipa has been proudly wearing Tiffany & Co jewellery on her tour and public appearances, Lady Gaga launched the Hardwear collection, and Miley Cyrus wore the  ‘Elsa Peretti’ Bone cuff to receive her first Grammy Award. 

Beyonce’s cowboy hat and even her in-house ear monitors for her Renaissance Tour were even created with Tiffany.

Tiffany & Co is also the creator of possibly the world’s most famous piece of jewellery, The Tiffany Yellow Diamond necklace, worn by only four women – Lady Gaga, Audrey Hepburn, Mary Whitehouse, and Beyonce.

The new Tiffany & Co Manchester is now open in store at Selfridges at the Trafford Centre.
