Job Description

A global sportswear brand is looking for an experienced Accessories Designer-Developer to join its London-based team. You will be working across both men’s and women’s collections, designing a broad mix of performance and lifestyle products—bags, backpacks, wash bags, headwear, and hydration bottles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct seasonal trend research and identify key products across accessories categories.
  • Build seasonal themes, colour palettes, and material stories that reflect brand direction.
  • Design original concepts and create accurate technical drawings across all styles.
  • Stay close to relevant sport, lifestyle, and outdoor trends—offering insight on silhouettes, finishes, and materials.
  • Create mood boards and trend presentations to support each season’s direction.
  • Partner with the Head of Design and Sales teams to build commercially strong, brand-relevant ranges.
  • Maintain clear records of all development work—fabrics, trims, prints, and specs.
  • Produce detailed spec sheets and technical packs for all products.
  • Follow critical paths and range plans to ensure all deadlines are met.
  • Implement sample changes into tech packs and communicate updates to suppliers.
  • Manage sample delivery, organisation, and tracking through the development process.
  • Support seasonal catalogue content and help prep for sales and go-to-market tools.
  • Travel as required for supplier meetings, brand collaborations, and product reviews.

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: Minimum 5 years in accessories design (bags, headwear, soft goods) within sportswear, lifestyle, or fashion.
  • Technical Skills: Strong understanding of soft accessories construction. Pattern cutting or product development experience is a bonus.
  • Sector Insight: Experience with outdoor or performance accessories is a strong advantage.
  • Mindset: Agile, proactive, and able to deliver in a fast-paced, global brand environment.
