As the sun goes down and the seasons turn to autumn, a menagerie of animal prints comes alive against the backdrop of dusk and twilight.
At Sugarhill Brighton, autumn always begins with a story – and Sundown Menagerie is our ode to golden hour, long shadows and that magical moment when the day hands over to the night.
Tigers, leopards and bewitchingly beautiful exotic birds all come out to play under a starry sky, while wild horses gallop by moonlight. The result is a sophisticated, magical collection of animal-inspired pieces in rich autumnal tones, with a sprinkle of storybook whimsy running right through it.
Sundown Menagerie is inspired by the hush of the jungle at dusk. Think palm silhouettes against an inky blue sky, a full moon peeping through the fronds, and hummingbirds darting between flame-coloured blooms. The prints feel like pages from a much-loved illustrated book — a stealthy leopard prowling through embroidered florals, star-speckled horses mid-gallop, and a regal tiger framed like a treasured keepsake.
The colour palette is warm and grounding: earthy brown, rust, teal and olive, lifted with pops of mustard and magenta. They're the shades of the sky just after sunset — deep enough to feel cosy as the evenings draw in, bright enough to keep things joyful.
Alongside our statement prints you'll find the animal classics you know and love — leopard spots and tiger stripes — reimagined in autumnal tones, plus a fairisle-inspired design where a prowling leopard sits between rows of stars and zigzags. Embroideries, contrast tipping and colourful linings add little flashes of personality, so even our simpler wardrobe staples carry a wink of Sugarhill magic.
Sundown Menagerie is about embracing the magic of the darker months — crisp walks at golden hour, cosy evenings in, and stars appearing a little earlier each night. It's autumn, the Sugarhill Brighton way: bold, playful and just a little bit wild.

Autumn-Winter 2026 - Wild prints, cosy layers & twilight tones
Animal Magic
Keep your eyes peeled for the Jungle Panther — the statement print of the season. A silvery-blue panther prowls through a jungle of magenta, mustard and rust blooms, with stitch-effect leaves and ferns trailing across a deep black ground. It's bold, a little bit mysterious and unmistakably Sugarhill.
Wear it with chunky cord or washed denim and let the print do the talking, or layer a cardigan over the top as the temperature drops.
Leopard Print
Meet the must-have jacket of the season. The Raye Barn Jacket is our take on a classic barn jacket, cut in a heavy cotton with a relaxed, loose fit. A stud placket covers the zip fastening, roomy patch pockets keep the essentials close, and a leopard print collar and colourful lining bring a hit of wild charm to a classic colour.
Throw it over a jumper and jeans for crisp autumn walks — it's the kind of jacket you'll reach for every single day.
Finishing Touches
Small but mighty, our new Sugarhill socks take elements of our favourite designs and shrink them down to fit on your feet! The Teal Tiger pair features a pink tiger strolling across a deep teal sock, finished with pink and purple striped cuffs — the perfect peek of personality between your boots and your hem.
Pop your hair up with one of our new scrunchies in the season's prints and your look is complete.
