UBS Lifestyle created a jewellery collection inspired by the seven Disney princesses.

For clothing, Shop at Velvet released 50+ products inspired by classic Disney princesses, while Wear Status Quo and Nona bring new colours by putting the spotlight on Disney villains and sidekicks on their collections.
