Overview
- The partnership was announced Monday, August 24, with West Elm presenting a Holiday 2026 line produced in collaboration with New York appetizing shop Russ & Daughters.
- The stoneware assortment includes dinner and salad plates, serving platters, trinket trays, cutting boards for bagels and challah, a ceramic menorah, napkins and small decorative boxes.
- West Elm said the collection is meant to celebrate the traditions and sense of connection that happen around the table while Russ & Daughters’ co-owners said they wanted the line to honor tradition and allow personal interpretation.
- At least one shopping outlet reported an ordering cutoff of September 4 to receive items before Rosh Hashanah and another outlet noted recipe content tied to the launch, both of which are reported but not fully confirmed by the brands.
- The collaboration taps Russ & Daughters’ Lower East Side heritage and a blue-and-white palette with motifs like fish and challah, a move that positions the release for Rosh Hashanah and Hanukkah entertaining and gift buying.
