A trio of silk scarf designed by renowned accessories designer and illustrator Rory Hutton celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty The King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen.
They have been designed and produced specifically for three esteemed institutions, namely Westminster Abbey, Highgrove and The National Portrait Gallery.
If one's searching for a gift or seeking a stylish addition to one's own collection, these scarfs (all 90x90cm) would be great options to commemorate the special occasion.
Designed exclusively for Westminster Abbey where the coronation will take place on May 6th, Rory has designed this classic silk scarf shown below to commemorate the first coronation to take place at the Abbey in 70 years. Rory took inspiration from the oak leaves and birds represented on the coronation chair, the Abbey’s medieval tiles and the heraldic animals and plants which symbolise the four nations that make up the United Kingdom.

Created from Rory’s signature linocut illustrations, this intricate medieval inspired design of the Abbey scarf looks resplendent in a vintage style colour palette of red, white and blue. The borders are emblazoned with the names of the King and Queen as well as the coronation date.
Separately Rory has designed another silk scarf exclusively for Highgrove, the family residence of King Charles III and his Queen. It lies southwest of Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England.

Rory drew inspiration from the gardens at Highgrove, including motifs such as delphiniums, ferns, and elegantly clipped topiaries. These emblematic Highgrove features are intertwined with HM The King and HM The Queen's insignias, and dates of the Coronation, along with a border of oak leaves and acorns, evoke a sense of grandeur and festivity.
Set against a rich, patriotic colour palette, this 90x90cm silk scarf is complete with rolled-edges comes presented in a printed card envelope, making it an excellent gift option for a loved one or a stylish addition to your own collection.
And finally the third silk scarf to commemorate the Coronation by Rory Hutton is this silk scarf below in a black and neutral colourway designed exclusively for the National Portrait Gallery by Rory Hutton.
