No pricing information has been released for the H&M x Stella McCartney collection. The line is scheduled to launch on January 10, 2026, in H&M stores and on hm.com. The collection will be available in sizes XS to XL, with select styles in XXL. Color options include black, ecru, moss green, and navy. The company did not confirm whether the line will be sold in Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, or other luxury retailers. A Nordstrom search for ‘Stella McCartney’ returned 144 items, including styles from her 2025 mainline collection, but no mention of the H&M collaboration.
