Star Wars x Graniph SS26 Collection Features Character-Driven Designs

Star Wars x Graniph’s Spring Summer 2026 collection presents a graphic-led apparel range built around imagery from the prequel trilogy. The lineup includes T-shirts, button-up shirts, pants, hats, and accessories featuring characters such as Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, Padmé Amidala, C-3PO, and R2-D2. Designs incorporate embroidery, all-over prints, and panel graphics that reference specific scenes and narrative arcs across the films. Select pieces include character-focused motifs and stylized reinterpretations of cinematic visuals across casual silhouettes.

Graniph’s collection applies these visuals across a mix of garments including color-blocked shirts, patterned shorts, and graphic outerwear. Accessories extend the range with items such as caps, tote bags, string bags, and reversible bucket hats. The collection is released through Graniph’s retail stores and online platform as part of its Spring Summer 2026 offering, with availability tied to a seasonal drop format.
