H&M Faces Supply Chain Strains as Orders Shift and Circular Fashion Efforts Expand H&M is reported to be gradually cutting orders from factories in Bangladesh, with suppliers warning this could trigger factory closures and job losses in the country’s garment sector.
A supplier to H&M in Myanmar, Kings Rich Fashion, is shutting down and laying off more than 1,000 workers after a fall in orders following the military coup.
H&M has joined a coalition of 68 organizations, including Primark and Vinted, calling for tax and policy changes in Europe to help scale resale, repair and other circular fashion business models.
Supply-chain adjustments in Bangladesh and Myanmar point to ongoing sourcing and geopolitical risks for H&M, while also highlighting potential reputational and operational pressures around labor conditions.
At the same time, H&M’s backing for policy support for resale and repair suggests the company is trying to align its business with circular fashion trends. This could affect its cost structure and revenue mix over time, depending on how regulation and consumer uptake evolve. Declared Dividend • May 13

H&M Unveils Stella McCartney H&M Collection H&M was proud to reveal all the looks in the upcoming Stella McCartney H&M collection. The collection will launch on May 7th, twenty years after H&M's first partnership with the acclaimed designer and campaigner. The first Stella McCartney H&M partnership, which marked H&M's second ever design collaboration, launched in November 2005. The latest Stella McCartney H&M collection builds on that legacy. It reflects on the highlights of the house's 25-year history, bottling McCartney's pioneering and rule-breaking vision into a range of apparel and accessories. The collection unites past and present. Playful, iconic hits from McCartney's early archive are combined with current signatures, such as oversized shirting, sweeping trenches, sharp tailoring, and bejewelled prints and slogan tops. Other key items in the collection include rib knitted dresses and tops with McCartney's signature Falabella chain at the neck and a long white gown with a cape-like sleeve that loops into the hem, giving the look of a sweeping circle of fabric. Sparkling partywear, separates and denims, as well as mesh dresses and tops in a bold archival cherry-print are also featured. A white mini tee embellished with studs reading 'Rock Royalty', offers an extra dose of nostalgia. The accessories range is rich in bags. Six styles will launch including small, branded shoulder bags, giant totes and a timeless chocolate-toned bag with a chain-detail strap. This is one of several pieces in the collection that incorporate the Falabella chain, including necklaces and earrings, crafted in recycled metal in mixed tones, and loafers with chain detailing on the front. The collection is defined by an approach to materials that prioritize recycled content, organic cottons, wool certified to the RWS Standard and innovative usage of feedstock for coated materials, such as industrial corn and recycled vegetable oil. The Stella McCartney H&M campaign, shot by Sam Rock in London, stars Renee Rapp, Angelina Kendall and Adwoa Aboah. The mood is playful yet effortless, nostalgic yet forward-thinking. Across the campaign, &Stella becomes the tagline for the collaboration. Reinterpreted in myriad forms such as &Here &Now &Me &You, it becomes a message about connection, care, and a way of being that speaks to this moment and the past, present, and future.

H&M Launches S/S 2026 Womenswear Collection H&M embraced playful and bold nostalgia by blending eras and influences into a compelling and liberating collection that rethinks Spring dressing. Flashes of different eras from the 80s, 90s, and 00s add surprise and intrigue across key pieces, creating a wardrobe with an intentional sense of history and culture. The collection celebrates the way modern looks blend the past with the present and resurface in unexpected and dynamic ways. In the collection, exaggerated volume contrasts with bold silhouettes. Sharp meets fluid, daring edge meets sophistication, gritty urban meets jet set glam, and modernity meets curated heritage. A key chapter of the collection's story is conceptualized by opulent embroideries and bold crochets that bring a sense of craft and tactility to fringed tops, semi-sheet gowns and vests, and highly detailed blouses. This decadent softness is grounded by mid-wash denims and minimalist leatherwork such as cropped jackets with graphic lines, anoraks, and Bermuda shorts. Sharp suiting in linen blends brings sophisticated, modern elegance. Hero items include scarf-detail tops, skirts layering over trousers, sculptural asymmetric bandeau tops, and jackets with eye-catching curved fronts decorated with buttons. Modern takes on athleisure come with a note of technique and texture. The collection's jewellery is sculptural – including shell motifs on necklaces and earrings, oversized bangles of metal and wood, and numerous statement pendants. Accessories include a mini handbag fully decorated with shells, and a metal shell-shaped bag with a tassel detail. Shoes include strappy and thong sandals: flat, or with sculptural curved wedge heels. Across the collection, the palette fades from sandy beige to cool white and classic black, with accents of red, offering a vision that combines breezy, sun-kissed charm with sensual, high glamour. The S/S 2026 collection will launch in H&M stores and online beginning March 26, 2026. Recent Insider Transactions • Feb 12
