Product highlights from the Autumn/Winter range:

John Walden, Argos Managing Director said, "We are very aware that these are difficult times with many still feeling the pinch, so with our new range launch we have focused on great value on daily essentials and the latest must-haves in areas such as technology and toys. Our exclusive branded ranges, including Bush, Chad Valley and Schreiber, also enable us to offer greater value for less.

With an Argos store within 10 miles of 95% of the UK population, and the benefits of Check and Reserve, we are best placed to ensure that customers can get hold of and enjoy their purchases right away."

HABITAT
Habitat products will feature in Argos' Autumn/Winter 2012 range for the first time ever. Drawing on a heritage of remarkable design that began in 1964, Habitat has selected a range of 1,000 of its favourite products for this collection in Argos, which is available for home delivery or pick up in selected stores from 21 July. 

CELEBRITIES
The Autumn/Winter 2012 range includes both new and returning celebrity faces. 50 Cent is making his first appearance in the catalogue, launching a brand new range of headphones whilst Olympic golden girl, Jessica Ennis, has added two new pieces to her exclusive Argos exercise range. The successful Emma Bunton kidswear range is also back with a stylish and affordable new collection. Following in the footsteps of his mum, Emma's son Beau models the clothes in the latest catalogue which features new pieces for babies, girls and boys available exclusively at Argos. Kelly Brook also makes a re-appearance with her exclusive bedding range adding new designs Picture Frame and Bethany, and Lee Stafford introduces a new range of hair styling products.

JEWELLERY
New to the catalogue are three jewellery ranges from new designers plucked from many aspiring hopefuls at a 'meet the buyers' event earlier in the year. The unique styles of Jian Designs' Stardust collection, Jessica Flinn's Lace collection and Burkmar Jewellery's Chilli collection will now have the fantastic opportunity to have their work seen by millions of people across the UK.
