Niwaki founder Jake Hobson has long admired Paul Smith and his team for their ability to infuse classic style with a distinctive sense of fun and individuality. The playfulness and, at the same time, sophistication of Paul Smith’s clothing and accessories inject a freshness to traditional designs – something Niwaki also aims for when designing gardening tools and gear.

Working together on this collection, we’ve pooled our respective skills to come up with a set of gardening tools that are fun, stylish and, most importantly, highly functional. United by a playful colour palette, the four pieces form a highly collectible set while also standing alone as serious tools in their own right. Perfect for stylish, creative gardeners who expect high quality tools but don’t take themselves too seriously.

To mark the occasion, we’re pleased to present a short film about Jake Hobson, offering a glimpse into both his garden and (not unconnected) his mind while he enjoys pruning, gathering and weeding with the set.

Launching on Wednesday 6 November 2024, the following items are available in limited numbers online at Niwaki and Paul Smith, in-store at Niwaki Chiltern Street and at a handful of Paul Smith boutiques (see www.paulsmith.com for details).
