Robbie Williams may reportedly launch his Hopeium lifestyle range after settling a trademark issue with luxury designer Yves Saint Laurent.
The high-end French fashion brand opposed Robbie’s trademark because they claimed it was “too similar to the name of their perfume Black Opium,” according to mirror.
After two years of disagreement, the two companies have reportedly reached an understanding that will allow Robbie, 50, to continue launching his brand.
The former Take That star had been planning to launch a Hopeium range of products including clothing, bags and footwear before the row.
She also wanted to sell beauty products, soaps, body lotions and fragrances.

The high-end French fashion brand objected to Robbie’s brand name because they claimed it was “too similar to the name of her perfume Black Opium,” according to the Mirror.
But following a complaint filed by YSL, it has decided to drop these ranges and in a bid to keep the peace, Hopeium will reportedly stay away from cosmetics and toiletries.
A source told the publication: “Robbie is always looking for the next opportunity. He can’t wait for the world to see what he has in store for him with Hopeium.”
The name was registered with the Intellectual Property Office on July 19.

‘They are both born artists and make a brilliant couple, so who knows what else they will come up with.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for comment.
This comes after Robbie joined Danny and a band of Beefeaters for a rousing rendition of Parklife during their London gig earlier this month.
As well as Robbie’s own band, the couple were backed by a 44-piece Beefeaters brass band made up of Coldstream and Welsh Guards as they sang and danced their way across the catwalk.
And Danny, who had appeared as his friend’s bodyguard in the show’s opening film, in which the “Angels” singer walked into the crowd from the backstage area, wasn’t Robbie’s only special guest during the segment.
The singer had been reminiscing about his days with Take That, showing off his swashbuckling first music video for Do What U Like before recalling how he got the chance to sing his first lead vocal on Could It Be Magic, delighting fans with a snippet of the hit 1992 single.
But she then reflected on how things went south during her infamous Glastonbury weekend in 1995, where she partied with Oasis’ Liam and Noel Gallagher.
As a tribute, he sang the group’s Don’t Look Back in Anger before inviting another friend he’d made at the festival to join him, Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes, who had performed on the Great Oak Stage earlier in the day, to sing the band’s hit “Alright”.
And according to The Mirror, their sources say the singer was so pleased with the fan response, that he has now invited Danny to team up with him again.
A source said: ‘The crowd went wild when Danny appeared on stage in BST, and they both loved it.’
They added: ‘After the show, Robbie told Danny he wanted at least one repeat performance and Danny made it clear that if Robbie wanted to tour with him, he was willing to be his partner.’ (Danny pictured in May at the BAFTAs)
Robbie then invited Danny to join him for the final Britpop song of the segment, joking: “It’s the double act you didn’t know you needed in your life.”
The singer finally slowed things down with Back For Good, a nod to his reunion with Take That in 2010, before paying tribute to his family, with wife Ayda Field and eldest daughter Teddy, 11, watching from the crowd.
Introducing I Love My Life, he said emotionally: “I’ve been with my wife for 18 years. I am the man I am because you have allowed me to grow with you.”
“And Teddy, you were the first of your kind and you blew me away. Dad is super, super proud of you. I’m dedicating this next song to Beau, who is four, Coco, who is five, Charlie, who is nine, and Teddy, who is eleven.”
In the second half of the set, Robbie (seen) threw t-shirts into the crowd in recognition of their dance moves to Candy before singing Supreme and Millennium.
Robbie has been married to occasional Loose Women star Ayda Field, 45, since 2010 and paid tribute to her during his appearance (pictured on the ITV lunchtime chat show in June 2024).
Introducing Advertising Space, which was accompanied by moving images of lost icons including the late Elvis Presley, George Michael, Prince, Freddie Mercury and Amy Winehouse, Robbie reflected on his own struggles with addiction over the years.
He said: ‘At 50, I’m still here and I’m extremely grateful… tonight I felt happier and more relaxed than ever before when I walked on stage.’
‘Maybe it was England (that won), maybe it was you, but I’m so happy… Thank you for helping me stay on this planet. I love you guys.’
