Women’s fashion brand Sosandar has announced it has signed a licensing agreement with Next for a Sosandar homeware range.

Following the success of Sosandar’s clothing range sold through Next, Next is extending its partnership to licensing the Sosandar brand to develop a homeware range. 

Next is one of the largest homeware retailers in the UK and the licensing deal will combine Next’s sourcing and quality expertise with Sosandar’s design inspiration. The range will include a full set of living room furniture and accessories, including sofas, accent chairs, rugs and lighting. It will be sold online exclusively on its website and expects to launch in Autumn 2025.

The licensing agreement, which requires no capital expenditure for the company, is part of Sosandar’s ongoing strategy to leverage its strong and growing brand awareness, with a focus on further broadening its reach and continuing to drive brand equity.

Ali Hall and Julie Lavington, co-CEOs, said: “It is a proud moment for the Sosandar brand to be licensing through Next, a testament to the strength of what we have built. This is a fantastic opportunity to leverage our brand equity and extend the success Sosandar has had through third party partnerships with little risk and no capital expenditure. 

“We will combine Next’s specialist technical and sourcing skills with our design aesthetic and understanding of Sosandar customers to deliver an exciting and unique product range. Importantly, the homeware range will broaden our reach into new audiences and enable existing customers to deepen their affinity to our brand.”
