We're celebrating our much loved London scarf design. This Summer we hosted an afternoon at Wolf & Badger in Soho, featuring the London silk scarf as well as bespoke London silk and velvet cushions and a signed, limited edition framed London Design Print.
Richard Allan's daughter, Cate Allan and grand-daughters were there to talk about the company's rich Sixties and Seventies history as well as future plans and collaborations; it was wonderful to meet customers from UK and abroad and hear stories of London, past and present appreciating the elegance and architecture of our city in the history as well as the inherent attitude and atmosphere - all represented in this design - London at its most beautiful and striking. Its no wonder this scarf is so loved!
As many of you know our company, originally Richard Allan Scarves was established in 1962 in the West End, the heart of Sixties London. Developing the classic silk head square, an everyday must-have, Richard Allan's silks were synonymous with the dynamic spirit of that decade. From its roots in a golden, or more accurately psychedelic era, Richard Allan designs are timeless and after sixty years, the London scarf design remains as popular as ever, available in 2 colours, the classic blue and white, and now ginger brown and silver grey.
Cate continues to treasure the extensive archive, revitalising designs with fresh colour palettes and a modern gaze making beautiful accessories for you and your home, designed in London, made in England, always.
It's a truly Heritage British brand.
