The August Collection: Our Biggest Pre-Order Drop, Ever


Some drops you announce. This one you reserve. The August Collection is the biggest pre-order in Claudio Lugli history — 51 new and returning print shirts, cut from our signature satin cotton, available to pre-order now and shipping 28 August 2026. Every style is a limited run: once the pre-order window closes, so does your chance to secure your size.

Seven chapters, one collection

We've grouped the drop into seven print worlds, so you can find your character fast.

I. On the Grid

Motorsport, machines and the romance of speed — the Monaco Grand Prix, Vintage Race Car and the blueprint-inspired Locomotive.

II. Skies & Seas

Aviation and open water: the Red Arrow Planes, Escape to Santorini and Under the Ocean.

III. In Full Bloom

Botanicals rendered in rich, tactile print — the Peacock Garden, House of Dahlia and Floral Chandeliers.

IV. Field & Country

British heritage and wildlife: Courtship Pheasants, the Worker Bee and Multi Horse Rider.

V. After Dark

Gothic drama and mythical beasts: Day of the Dead Neon Skulls, Steampunk City and Battle of the Dragons.

VI. Sound & Vision

Music, art and pop: the Vintage Cassette, Pop Art Dogs and Vegas at Night.

VII. Emblem

City icons and lucky charms: the Union Jack, London Lifestyle and Baroque Dynasty.

How pre-order works

Reserve your size today and we'll ship your order the moment the collection lands on 28 August 2026, by our Next-Day UK Delivery service. Any order containing pre-order items is sent together unless you tell us otherwise. Every style runs from Small to 6XL in our signature satin cotton — smooth, breathable and made to hold its print wash after wash.

Frequently asked questions

When will my pre-order ship?
All August Collection pre-orders ship from 28 August 2026 via Next-Day UK Delivery.

Why pre-order instead of waiting?
These are limited runs. Pre-ordering reserves your exact size before the collection sells out — once a style is gone, it's gone.

What sizes are available?
Every shirt is available from Small through to 6XL.

What is the fabric?
Our signature satin cotton — a smooth, lightly lustrous, breathable weave that brings the print to life.

Can I mix pre-order and in-stock items?
Yes. Orders containing a pre-order item are dispatched together on the arrival date unless you request otherwise by email or phone.
