Under the Crescent: A Season of Shared Celebration
DUBAI, UAE – February 2026 – Apparel Group Brand CHARLES & KEITH welcomes the holy month of Ramadan with a collection shaped with serenity, intention, and the beauty of the season’s spirit of gathering. The Ramadan 2026 capsule reflects the gentle rhythms of the season — the slow, grounding moments of reflection and the intimate celebrations that feels both warm and assured.
Inspired by the quiet poetry of twilight and the soft geometry of Middle Eastern architecture, the campaign introduces a visual universe shaped by warm tones, diffused light and sculptural forms. A harmonious palette of beige and soft neutrals anchors the creatives, enriched by a pop of burgundy. This interplay of colours, paired with tactile contrasts of pebbled walls, woven textures and nature creates a calm yet compelling rhythm. Every frame balances poise with ease, capturing a world where elegance is not overstated, but deeply felt.
The Ramadan 2026 collection spotlights refined silhouettes and evening-ready statement pieces designed to accentuate the sophistication of the season, from intimate iftar dinners to festive occasions. Satin bags anchor the assortment with a sense of refinement: the Eilian Satin Braided Top Handle Bag renders sculpted femininity in a luminous finish, its braided handle adding quiet texture and charm; while the Taisia Satin Chain-Strap Envelope Bag, available in versatile black, classic champagne, and a rich, yet calming teal, reimagines polish through clean geometry and sleek metal accents, offering a contemporary edge to after-dark refinement.
Footwear styles further complement the bags in the capsule, expressed through elongated lines, soft sheens, and crystalline details that catch the light with quiet glamour. The Satin Teardrop-Crystal Slingback Pumps and Crystal Buckle-Strap Mules introduce subtle sparkle to festive looks, while the Satin Pointed-Toe Crystal-Heel Slingback Pumps lends an unexpected twist with a sculptural heel. For a more effortless mood, the Satin Crystal-Heel Mules offer a minimalist slip-on silhouette that blends comfort with refined allure.
To mark the celebration, selected CHARLES & KEITH stores will host a limited-time Scented Candle Personalisation experience, exclusive to CHARLES & KEITH Members. The activation is scheduled to run across the GCC region from 26 February to 1 March 2026 and from 5 March to 8 March
2026.During the respective activation periods, customers who meet the minimum spend, with at least one Ramadan 2026 product, will receive a complimentary scented candle from a curated selection of Floral, Citrus Spice, or Earthy fragrance profiles.
