One of the greatest days of my life just happened at Mapperton

Aug 06, 2026

Dear coffee supporters!

have to tell you about yesterday, and I am not even being dramatic. Or maybe I am?! LOL!

We spent the entire day, morning until night, running around this incredible house with the most wonderful dream team, shooting the Rory Hutton x Mapperton silk scarves. I do not know how we got through everything we did, but we did, and it was joyful and hilarious and beautiful, and I am still buzzing.

Over fifteen shots. Twelve motifs, styled in so many different ways across both the 90x90 scarf and the 45x45 pocket square. Some of them are giving Where's Wally and I am here for it. From the Sandwich to the swimming cap, to the eagles, to the peacock, to the Alberta House of Worth dress, every motif tells a story. A Mapperton story. Yours.

And here is the moment that stopped us all in our tracks. We counted the motifs on the scarf, and there are twelve. I am the 12th Countess of Sandwich. We had absolutely no idea until then. Go figure.

I have shared some of my own behind-the-scenes snaps here, the fun, unfiltered ones. The professional photography and the film will be released on Monday, when we open the doors properly.

And here is what I want you to know before anyone else does.

This is a strictly limited edition. On Monday, everyone on the waitlist gets first access. If you have already signed up, you are on it, no need to do anything again or submit twice. Rest assured, you are in.

If you are not on the waitlist yet and you would like one of these scarves, I would genuinely urge you to add your name now, HERE!

I cannot guarantee a scarf to anyone who is not on the list. Once they are gone, they are gone, and I have a feeling these will not last long. Those of you on the waitlist get preferential access on Monday, just in case.

I will be wearing this scarf for the rest of my life. And I hope you will too.

Thank you, as ever, for being part of this story. Monday, we open the doors.
