British heritage brands worn by Queen Elizabeth II launch new ranges to celebrate the centenary of her birth
Release date: Thursday, 26 March 2026
A collection of clothing and accessories made by British heritage brands is on sale today as part of celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth and her lasting fashion legacy.
The brands – Burberry, Launer London, Kinloch Anderson, Corgi Socks, Dents, Floris and Fulton Umbrellas – are all current or past Royal Warrant Holders and were worn by Queen Elizabeth II throughout her life.
The wares accompany the exhibition Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style, opening on 10 April 2026 at The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace. Featuring items from Royal Warrant Holders past and present, it will be the largest exhibition of the late monarch’s clothing and accessories ever staged and will explore her enduring support for British craftsmanship.
Tying the new product ranges together is the Old Stewart Tartan, featuring soft, muted colours drawn from the Scottish landscape and inspired by cloth naturally aged by time and the elements. It was frequently worn by Queen Elizabeth II for informal occasions, particularly when staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Burberry
Burberry was worn by Queen Elizabeth II throughout her reign and was awarded a Royal Warrant by her in 1955. The Queen often chose Burberry for outdoor pursuits and the new capsule collection – comprising a long gabardine car coat tailored in Yorkshire, a cashmere scarf woven in Scotland, a silk twill scarf with a hand-painted depiction of Balmoral Castle and a gold-plated brooch in the shape of a corgi – draws inspiration from her wardrobe. A new holly green colourway of the Burberry House Check has been created especially for the capsule to honour Queen Elizabeth II and is inspired by the Old Stewart Tartan, while a Burberry riding cape and silk scarf will feature in the exhibition.
Launer London
Launer London supplied the Queen with handmade handbags for more than 50 years and was granted a Royal Warrant in 1968. A black Traviata bag and green Judi bag featuring tartan linings supplied by Kinloch Anderson are part of the centenary collection, reprising the trusted silhouettes that the Queen used for engagements throughout her reign. Three Launer London bags from the Queen’s personal collection will be on show as part of the exhibition.
Kinloch Anderson
Kinloch Anderson, the renowned Scottish experts in tartans, Highland dress and kiltmaking, held Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Warrant of Appointment for tailoring and kiltmaking for the duration of her reign, reflecting an enduring tradition of craftsmanship, service and royal connection.
Kinloch Anderson has designed a number of tartans for the Royal Household, including the Old Stewart Tartan, underlining its unique place in Scotland’s textile and ceremonial heritage – and a tartan skirt made for Queen Elizabeth II by Kinloch Anderson will feature in the exhibition. New pieces created for the centenary include a lambswool throw made in Scotland, a silk pocket square and a silk tie all in the Old Stewart Tartan.
Corgi Socks
Handfinished socks in the Old Stewart Tartan pattern have been made for the centenary by Corgi Socks, run by the fifth and sixth generations of the Jones family in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
Dents
The Queen would personally select her own handbag and gloves to complete an outfit and was rarely seen carrying out official engagements without them. Dents created gloves for Her late Majesty throughout her 70-year reign, and reflecting this long association, Dents has crafted traditionally made leather gloves.
Floris
The only perfumer to hold a Royal Warrant from the Queen, family-owned Floris has crafted a centenary edition of night scented jasmine eau de toilette.
Fulton Umbrellas
From the 1960s, the Queen became known for her use of transparent ‘Birdcage’ umbrellas, designed and supplied by Fulton Umbrellas. Decorated with coloured trims to match her outfits, the clear umbrellas ensured that she could be seen by bystanders in inclement weather. A new clear birdcage-shaped umbrella with an Old Stewart Tartan trim has been made for the centenary, inspired by the umbrellas used by Queen Elizabeth II that will be on display in the exhibition.
