Senior Designer - Bags & Accessories

ATR Brands is a multi-brand travel lifestyle group built around three distinct brands — Antler, the iconic British travel brand with over 110 years of heritage;
Paravel, our premium sustainable American travel label, launching in market from October 2026; and Nere, Australia's leading travel brand. Each brand has its own identity, audience, and design world — united by a shared ambition to redefine how people travel.

Since ATR Brands acquired Antler in 2020, we have grown from a team of 6 to nearly 40 and built an entirely new product assortment across five travel lifestyle categories. We've reimagined the brand, invested in the team, and now with Paravel live in market and Nere expanding under our London leadership, we are moving from luggage maker to a true multi-category travel lifestyle group.

We're looking for a Senior Designer specialising in Bags & Accessories to help lead and deliver product strategies across the House of Brands, from inception to launch. This is a senior creative role covering ideation, development, colour, materials, prototyping, sampling, and calendar management — with real scope to build a new product world with us and showcase your creative vision to a global audience.

You’ll work closely with design and development teams in the UK, Australia, and China, and collaborate across product, marketing, and commercial functions. Our growth plans mean you won’t be restricted by routine — this role is central to our diversification beyond luggage, and you will be designing across more than bags alone.

You're a highly creative, confident designer with proven experience developing bags and accessories — ideally within a global brand environment. You bring exceptional knowledge of materials and processes, and you're known for your ability to manage projects effectively from brief to launch without losing sight of either the creative vision or the commercial reality.

You're a team player with a "no task is too small" attitude — collaborative, organised, and equally comfortable working through ambiguity, leading a concept and getting into the detail of a tech pack. You thrive in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments and you're energised by the opportunity to build something new. Above all, what we're doing here excites you.

We are fast-paced and entrepreneurial, a lean team with big ambitions. These are the things that will be at the core of your role day-to-day.

• Demonstrating exceptional creativity — designing products, developing tech packs, and liaising with product developers to bring new products to life.
• Leading accessories projects in their entirety, from ideation through to final product launch, including creative design, colour, materials, prototyping, sampling, and final specifications.
• Managing design projects to agreed deadlines and cost objectives.
• Researching and sourcing new materials — identifying new technologies, processes, and product innovations.
• Designing products with sustainability and circularity at their core.

• Conducting comprehensive market research to identify emerging trends, competitive threats, and new market opportunities.
• Presenting exciting and commercially viable product opportunities to the wider business.
• Applying a strategic approach to colour — developing and managing colour direction across the accessories range.

• Working closely with design and development teams in the UK, Australia, and Hong Kong — across multiple time zones.
• Collaborating with marketing and commercial teams to ensure product strategy aligns with brand and commercial objectives.
• Liaising with external vendors and factories to develop…
