Disney-owned global entertainment brand Marvel is collaborating with The Prince’s Trust charity to launch of a new range of character-inspired products designed by a group of young designers.
 


The range, available to purchase exclusively on Amazon, is made up of three capsule collections, each highlighting different eras in the brand’s 85-year history: Bronze, Silver, and Gold; 80s and 90s; and 2000s and Beyond.

In total, the print-on-demand collections include 36 items across apparel, accessories, and wall art, “showcasing the participants' creativity and passion for the Marvel Universe”.

And the collab is deeper that just product sales. Together, they also aim to provide mentorship and support to young individuals from diverse backgrounds “who aspire to pursue careers in product design and the creative industries”. 
 
“The launch of these collections not only celebrates the talent and dedication of the young designers but also marks the third collection of the three-year partnership between Marvel, The Prince’s Trust, and Disney”.

Disney, through its ongoing commitment to supporting young designers, has donated £100,000 to The Prince’s Trust, totalling £300,000 over three years, “helping more young people reach their potential”.

Disney is also sponsoring the Marvel Young Change Maker Award at The Prince’s Trust and TK Maxx and Homesense Awards this year, which is celebrating its 20th year.

"We believe in the epic possibilities of embracing our differences and treating them as superpowers," said Dan Scott from Disney Consumer Products. “Through this three-year programme, we have aimed to empower young people to unleash their creative potential, build essential skills, and pursue their dreams in product design and beyond.”
