Most Halloween products are designed to be thrown away on the second of November. Costumes that survive one night, decorations that go back in a box with a split corner, plastic that had a single job and did it once. The Stanley 1913 Halloween collection is the opposite proposition. It is a limited edition finish on a piece of kit built to be in use in twenty years, which means the darkest thing you buy in October is also the most sensible. This Year's Halloween Collection This year there is one colourway, and that turns out to be the point. Deadly Damask is darkly drenched rather than flatly black, with metallic accents and a tinted lid that pull the whole silhouette darker. The pattern is the reason to look twice. Skulls, serpents, moths, songbirds and crescent moons run right around the body, dark on dark, appearing only when the light catches them. And they come from somewhere specific. Where the Pattern Was Inspired From The etching on this piece did not begin as Halloween decoration. Its design language comes from Día de Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead, and knowing that changes what you are looking at. Día de Muertos falls on the first and second of November. It is not a frightening festival, and it is not a Mexican version of Halloween. It is a celebration of remembrance: families build an ofrenda at home, an altar carrying photographs of the people they have lost, candles, pan de muerto, and marigolds, whose scent and colour are said to guide the spirits back. UNESCO added it to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008. Here is the part that matters most to a company which makes drinking vessels. The ofrenda holds the food and drink the person loved. Their coffee. Their chocolate. Whatever they would have reached for. The dead are not so much mourned as expected, and you set out what they liked. Which is why the skull in that pattern is not there to unsettle anyone. In this tradition a skull is closer to a portrait than a threat. The best known is La Catrina, the elegant skeleton in the enormous hat, drawn around 1910 by the Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada as a satire of people who denied their own roots in order to imitate European fashion, and named and made famous by Diego Rivera decades later. Her joke is the whole festival in one image: death is not choosy, and it is not to be feared. Deadly Damask is the dark execution of that language, landing in the same week as Halloween. The lighter one is the Día de Muertos collection itself, where the same laser etching runs in gold over florals and calm skulls, in the Sunrise Catrina and Midnight Catrina colourways.  A Limited Edition, Not a Novelty The distinction matters, so here it is plainly. Limited edition means the finish is available for a short window and then it is gone. Novelty means the product itself is disposable. We do the first and not the second. Underneath the finish, nothing has been changed to make the collection seasonal. It is the 18/8 stainless steel and the vacuum construction the permanent range is built on, running the standard lids, and every wearing part is still sold separately so a finish going out of stock never leaves you with something you cannot repair. Recycled steel content varies from piece to piece, so check the individual product if that is what you are buying on. That is why these tend to be the pieces people keep rather than rotate. A seasonal finish on a well-built object becomes a marker of a particular year, and it keeps working long after the year is over. Dark Metallics and Tinted Lids The Halloween treatment does what the season asks without tipping into fancy dress. A deeply saturated base, metallic accents that catch light rather than reflect it flatly, and a tinted lid that shifts the whole silhouette darker. The result is something you can carry on the thirtieth of October and still carry on the fourteenth of November without it looking like you have not caught up. That is the test a seasonal finish has to pass, and it is the reason these lean dark and metallic rather than cartoonish. What to Actually Put in It A tumbler in a dark metallic finish spends October doing two specific jobs. The first is cold and all day: the Quencher® and IceFlow™ formats hold ice for hours, which matters at a party as much as it does at a desk. The second is hot and outdoors: standing on a doorstep handing out sweets, or walking a route round the neighbourhood in the cold with a small person who has stopped listening to you. That is a flask job, and it is the most underrated use of the whole season. If you want something for someone else rather than yourself, our gift ideas edit sorts the range by who you are buying for, which is a faster route than working through it by product. Get In Early Limited edition finishes behave the same way every year: the collection lands, the sizes people actually want go first, and by the middle of the month the choice is whatever is left rather than what you came for. If there is a specific piece you want from this one, October is not the month to think about it for a fortnight. Until then, the seasonal finishes appear in Tumblers as each one is released, and anything launched in the last few weeks is gathered in New Arrivals.

The light changes before anything else does. Mornings get slower, the walk to work needs a hot drink rather than a cold one, and the bottle that felt right in July suddenly looks like it belongs to a different season. The Stanley 1913 Fall Refresh is built for that shift. The shades run warm and earthy. The habit is coffee. This Season's Fall Refresh This 2026 year the Fall Refresh is as much about finish as it is about shade. The palette runs Moab, Fig, Bedrock and Peat Moss, four earth tones drawn from desert rock and damp woodland, alongside Blossom at the softer end. Each shade arrives in one of three treatments: a deep Gloss, a fine Pinstripe or a Plaid. Two pieces in the same colour can look completely different depending on which one you pick. Shades of Brown Brown has gone from the colour nobody asked for to the one people look for by name more than any other in our range, and autumn is when it makes the most sense: warm, deep, and closer to the colour of what is actually in the cup. It also does something the brighter colours cannot. A brown bottle looks correct on a desk, in a car, on a building site and in a photograph, which is a harder test than it sounds. Paired with gold or brass detailing it stops being a neutral and starts being a choice. Our Shades of Brown edit gathers every brown piece in the range in one place, from the deep espresso tones through to the softer beige end. Shades of Cream Cream works for the opposite reason to brown. Where brown is the statement, cream is the shade that goes with everything you already own and does not date from one season to the next, which is why it stays in the range whether or not it appears in a given season's palette. It has quietly become one of the most requested colours we make. The soft off-whites and warm neutrals sit well against autumn clothing, they photograph well in low light, and they do not look wrong in February when the leaves have gone. If you want to see the full spread, the Shades of Cream edit is the place to start. Coffee Season Starts Here There is a moment every autumn where the drink changes. Cold water all day becomes a coffee at seven, another at eleven, and something hot for the walk home in the dark. It is the single biggest shift in how people use our products across the whole year, and it is the reason this collection leans on the hot-drink range rather than the tumblers. A travel mug is the piece that matters most. It was our most popular product across the whole of last autumn and winter, which tells you exactly what people buy this range for once the weather turns. For a longer day, a coffee flask holds a pot's worth and keeps it drinkable for hours rather than minutes. For a desk, a kitchen table or a slow Sunday, the coffee cups and mugs range is the one to look at. All of it sits together in Café, which is the fastest route in if coffee is the reason you are here rather than the colour. Autumn Shades, Not Autumn Compromises A seasonal colour range is easy to do badly. Put a pretty finish on a worse product and you get something that looks right in October and is scratched, dented and forgotten by February. That is not how this works. Every piece in the Fall Refresh is the same double-wall vacuum insulated 18/8 stainless steel we have been building since 1913, with the same lid systems, the same fit in a car cupholder and the same replaceable parts. Autumn is also when insulated drinkware earns its keep properly. Summer asks a bottle to keep water cold, which is the easier half of the job. Autumn asks a lid to survive being opened with gloves on, a body to be carried in the rain, and a coffee poured at seven to still be worth drinking at ten. Made From What We Already Made A number of pieces across the range are built from recycled stainless steel, and the specific content is listed on each product page rather than claimed across a whole collection. That matters more in a seasonal collection than in a permanent one, because seasonal ranges are exactly where the industry has historically produced things designed to be replaced next year. A limited edition shade should be limited in availability, not in how long the thing lasts. Every piece here is built to still be in use long after the colour has stopped being the new one, with straws, lids and boots stocked separately so a discontinued shade never means a discontinued product. Shop the Fall Refresh The full collection is coming soon in the Fall Winter edit, alongside the rest of the season's range. For the tumblers, the Quencher® and Tumblers collections carry the seasonal shades as they land, and New Arrivals is the fastest way to see what has just dropped. A new shade is also one of the easier things to buy for somebody who already owns the product in last year's colour, which is a surprisingly common reason people shop this collection. If that is why you are here, gift ideas is the better place to start.

Today, the Stanley 1913 brand announced a new multi-year social impact commitment with global nonprofit organization, charity: water. charity: water funds sustainable water projects, working closely with local partners to successfully implement systems that help isolated, rural communities access clean drinking water. The mission-driven organization demonstrates its ability to alleviate the world water crisis through the integration of proven, innovative technologies and powerful storytelling that raises awareness and connects supporters to their impact. “At charity: water, we believe that water changes everything” says Scott Harrison, Founder & CEO. “That's why we're on a mission to ensure that every person on the planet has access to clean, safe water. Since 2006, we've built over 200,000 projects in 29 countries and have helped over 21 million people.” “We're so excited to deepen our partnership with Stanley 1913. They've spent generations building products that last, and through this multi-year commitment, we're investing in water projects built to do the same, serving communities for years to come.” Communities affected by the world water crisis spend hours every day walking to collect water for their families, with women and girls responsible for collecting water in 70% of households. Not only does walking for water prevent kids from attending school and parents from pursuing work, but the water collected often carries diseases that lead to illness. When a community gets access to clean water, the ripple effects are meaningful and apparent, improving overall health, increasing access to food, growing local economies, and helping kids spend more time in school.   Stanley 1913 Europe first partnered with charity: water in 2023, amplifying the organization's mission through sales campaigns, micro-fundraising events, and employee engagement. “After seeing such incredible momentum across our European campaigns, formalizing this multiyear global partnership was the natural next step” says Matt Navarro, Global Brand President. “When a global hydration and sustainability leader like Stanley 1913 partners with a purpose-driven organization like charity: water to bring clean water to the world—it simply doesn't get more authentic than that.” In May 2026, Stanley 1913 leaders visited Uganda to experience charity: water’s life-changing work first-hand. While in the field, the team met with local experts, experienced different types of water access points, and participated in local community life. Additionally, the brand’s global offices showed their solidarity and shared commitment by participating in office-held Water Walks, raising funds for an additional water project. “For our brand, water isn’t just what we carry. It’s what connects us. And for the 696 million people living without reliable access to clean water, it’s everything.” says Emily Cichy, VP of Sustainability and Social Impact. “We were honored and humbled to be welcomed in Uganda by the local partners and community leaders who are making a difference on the ground every single day.” Since 2023, the Stanley 1913 brand has partnered with charity: water to bring clean water to communities around the world.  By next Spring 2027, an estimated 16,000 people will have access to clean, safe water, thanks to projects funded by Stanley 1913. Today, we’re close to halfway to this figure, with more than 7,000 people currently drinking clean water across 37 projects in Cambodia, Kenya, Madagascar, Niger, and Sierra Leone. Over the next three years, Stanley 1913 commits to this same mission, aiming to help 37,500 more people around the world access safe drinking water. In partnership with charity: water and in celebration of what’s to come, Stanley 1913 is releasing a special edition Flowstate™ Spring bottle inspired by charity: water’s impact, with funds from each bottle going toward the cause. This product is expected to launch in Spring 2027.  For more information about the Stanley 1913 and charity: water partnership, visit Stanley 1913 x charity: water Press Contact: press@stanley1913.com  PMI WW Brands, LLC.  Under PMI WW Brands, LLC, Stanley 1913 – the global lifestyle brand synonymous with premium food and beverage innovation – creates high-quality products that fuel the human experience.  Stanley 1913: Built for Life®.    We have fueled the human experience since the iconic Stanley vacuum bottle revolutionized the way people enjoyed food and beverage.  Today, our colorful and innovative Hydration products, including the beloved Quencher®, as well as our Cafe, Bar, Kitchen, and Hard and Soft Cooler offerings, go beyond function, elevating everyday moments with style and empowering active lifestyles. We're a community of creators, builders and inventors who believe in creating sustainable products for a better life and world that minimize our impact on the planet.
