The Tony Ward Spring Summer 2026 Edit

Eight new Tony Ward pieces have landed at Luxury Handbags for Spring Summer 2026. It is a narrow drop rather than a broad one: four colours, and a repeated idea about hanging weight on the shoulder while everything below it stays soft.

Prices run from $8,630 to $17,010. Every piece is cut to order in Beirut.

The palette

Quartz pink carries three of the eight, and it is the shade to understand first. In the studio it photographs as a dusty rose, which makes it function as a soft neutral: warm enough for daylight, quiet enough beside a bride. Skylight blue takes two, a clean mid blue that stays legible under warm indoor lighting where navy would flatten. Water green takes one and is the boldest thing here. The remaining two are white, and one of them is not really white at all.

The eight

White Beaded Tulle Column Dress, $17,010

The most heavily worked piece in the group, and the one people misread. It is built on nude illusion tulle under dense silver embroidery and crystal, so on the body it reads as a metallic, not a white dress. The column opens into cape sleeves. If you are choosing shoes, treat it as silver. See the piece.

Water Green Beaded Corset Gown, $16,270

Dense beading on water green tulle, with tonal chains and crystal tracing the bodice in a corset line. The skirt is deliberately loose beneath it, so the structure stops at the waist and the rest falls. The hardest colour in the collection to place and the one that holds a room. See the piece.

Skylight Blue Beaded Cape Gown, $15,980

The house signature in this season’s blue: a layered A-line skirt, a short cape at the shoulder, and hand beading through the embroidery. This is the black tie answer of the eight. See the piece.

Skylight Blue Asymmetric Crepe Gown, $14,070

The undecorated one, and a useful corrective to the idea that this house only does surface. Crepe, an asymmetric neckline, draping gathered at the waist and a high slit. All of the work is in the cut. See the piece.

Quartz Pink Beaded Tulle Gown, $13,780

A bustier bodice under a beaded overlay, an A-line skirt from a fitted waist, and a short cape that detaches. That last detail makes it two dresses: covered for the ceremony, bare for the dinner. See the piece.

Quartz Pink Muslin Cape Gown, $11,130

Muslin, which is far lighter than the tulle pieces and moves accordingly. A flared skirt with a deep split, cape sleeves, and embroidered appliqués placed rather than scattered. Our pick for a wedding guest at a warm-weather ceremony. See the piece.

White Beaded A-Line Gown, $11,130

White georgette with silver beadwork and crystal concentrated across the bust and sleeves, then draped georgette below. The lightest of the beaded gowns and the easiest to wear for a long evening. See the piece.

Quartz Pink Kimono Sleeve Dress, $8,630

The entry point, and the least formal thing here. A long column with a relaxed top and wide kimono sleeves, finished with sequin embellishment. It will go to more events in a year than the gowns will in five. See the piece.

What we would buy

For a black tie gala: the Skylight Blue Beaded Cape Gown. It is the clearest statement of what the house does.

For a wedding: the Quartz Pink Muslin Cape Gown. Covered shoulders without a jacket, a colour that stays clear of the bride, and light enough for a long day.

For a photographed red carpet: the White Beaded Tulle Column Dress. It is narrow, and the crystal does something under a flash that the crepe pieces cannot.

For everything else: the Quartz Pink Kimono Sleeve Dress, on cost per wear.

Sizing and ordering

All eight run the full ladder from UK 4 to UK 18. Tony Ward cuts to European sizing and Luxury Handbags lists the UK equivalent, so UK 10 is EU 38. The house works to order and offers custom sizing, so speak to a Luxury Handbags stylist if you sit between two sizes, particularly on the corseted bodice. Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, which makes the customer the importer of record for local duties and taxes.
