Auralee × Tekla Gives Winter Dressing a Softer Place to Land

Auralee and Tekla are bringing winter dressing into the bedroom.

Auralee and Tekla are bringing winter dressing into the bedroom. Their second collaboration, launched October 28, 2026, connects knitwear, sleepwear and home textiles through a shared interest in the clothes we reach for outside and the comfort waiting when we return.

The official Auralee announcement identifies Scandinavian outdoor living, including the idea of friluftsliv, as a reference point. Knitwear sits alongside slippers, blankets, bedding and accessories. That mix gives the partnership an unusually domestic scope: the wardrobe and the room can speak to each other without every object needing the same pattern.

Texture does the work

The collection’s strongest proposition is its attention to materials. Hypebeast’s collection report details a blend of 70 percent wool and 30 percent cashmere for the knitwear, with Forest Green and Soil Brown colorways across crewneck cardigans and boatneck sweaters. Coordinating arm and neck warmers extend the layering options.

Sleepwear brings a different mood. Brushed organic-cotton flannel appears in Dawn Checks, a purple-and-orange pattern used for long-sleeve shirts, trousers and boxer shorts. Against the quieter knits, the checks offer a useful point of contrast. The resulting styling possibilities are easy to imagine: a patterned shirt beneath a solid cardigan, or one knitted accessory adding depth to an otherwise familiar outfit.

Those are suggestions for wearing the pieces, rather than a requirement to buy the entire look. The collection is most interesting when considered as a set of small interventions. One textured layer can change how an outfit reads; one checked piece can give a restrained palette a little movement.

The room joins the wardrobe

Wallpaper’s launch coverage describes Soil Brown percale bedding and striped lambswool blankets woven in Lithuania, then brushed and finished with whipstitched edges. It also places this collection after the partners’ first collaboration, which drew on Japanese onsen bathing.

The shift in setting matters. Bathing and winter dressing both involve daily rituals, but this second chapter broadens the relationship between getting dressed and being at home. A blanket or duvet cover can carry the same attention to color and touch as a sweater. Fashion becomes something encountered across the day, including the hours when there is no audience.

The official autumn/winter campaign credits creative direction to Takuhito Kawashima, photography and direction to Nikki McClarron, and styling to Hisato Tasaka. Looking through the brand’s images alongside the product descriptions is a better way to understand the visual proposal than treating the collaboration name alone as the selling point.

Where the collection lands

Auralee lists both brands’ online stores, MR PORTER and NET-A-PORTER among the release channels. Its physical stockist list includes Tekla’s Copenhagen and Marylebone stores, Auralee Tokyo, Dover Street Market Ginza, and North American retailers Mohawk General Store, Ven Space and Neighbour. The announcement confirms the launch date, but individual styles, sizes and prices need checking with the relevant shop.

For a wardrobe edit, the useful question is which part of this material story belongs in what you already own. The wool-cashmere layers, checked flannel and home textiles offer different answers. There is no need to turn a collection into a complete lifestyle purchase to appreciate the consistency of its design.

At the end of October, Auralee and Tekla make a persuasive case for paying attention to the quieter parts of getting dressed. Their new collaboration gives the everyday cardigan, pyjama shirt and blanket enough consideration to hold a fashion story on their own.
