175 Years of Harrods: The Anniversary-Edition Exclusives
2024 marks an important milestone in Harrods history: 175 years since our founder, grocer and tea merchant Charles Henry Harrod, opened his first store on Brompton Road. Soon, Harrods became the beating heart of Knightsbridge, supplying discerning customers across the city with the finest perfume, tea, fresh produce and much more.
As we mark175 yearsand look to the future, we’ve collaborated with some of our favourite brands to create a series of anniversary exclusives to delight any lover of luxury. From beauty to homeware, these are the limited-edition launches you won’t want to miss out on this year.
The Anniversary-Edition Tote Bag, £50
Our newly launched Harrods own-label collection offers a plethora of handbags and accessories for every taste – but this chic tote is the certified crown jewel. Gilded with foil-edged illustrations of flora and fauna and stamped with our 175th anniversary insignia, it’s a souvenir-come-style statement.
Cole & Son Couture Carousel Wallpaper, £270
Our in-house interior design team has collaborated with wallpaper expert Cole & Son to create a design daubed with couture illustrations in tribute to our history as the home of high fashion. Look closely, and you’ll see that several Harrods emblems also make an appearance, from our ever-iconic bears to the detailing of our Knightsbridge windows.
Fornasetti Biscotti Tableware Collection, from £300
We may hail from the opposite side of the continent, but we’ve long shared Fornasetti’s love of the whimsical. Created exclusively for our milestone anniversary, these intricately detailed teapots, cups, saucers and platters depict Italian icon Lina Cavalieri peeking out from beneath a pile of Harrods biscuits. Afternoon tea, anyone?
The 175th Anniversary Hamper, £75

Packed with crowd-pleasing treats from the Food Halls, including our anniversary-edition tea and ever-iconic chocolate Gold Bar, it makes the ideal present for someone special – or yourself.
