The Queen of Patterns Herself

Orla Kiely

Discover a unique and timeless collaboration inspired by influential figures and historical landmarks of England.

English Heritage are a charity that cares for more than 400 historic sites in every corner of England. Some are internationally famous, some are local treasures, and all are there for everyone.

The three ranges are each inspired by influential figures and historical landmarks of England, restored and taken care of by English Heritage, with royalties generated from sales directly supporting the charity to continue their preservation and story-telling work.

The collection is inherently traditional and classic in its style, but with a commercial twist for modern taste.

Finch

The Finch range explores the renowned history of Down House, the family home of Charles Darwin. The intricate hand-drawn floral pattern illustrates the Finch bird studied on Darwin’s great expedition to the Galapagos islands.

Quarry

The visually impactful Quarry range includes a beautiful hand-painted design that celebrates the rhododendrons of Belsay Hall Quarry Gardens. The stunning garden, known as the Secret Garden of Northumberland, is brought to life through the exclusively designed Quarry pattern.

Rosa

The Rosa range pays tribute to the heritage patterns found in Queen Victoria’s bedroom at Osborne. The Isle of Wight family home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is renowned for its beauty and the intimate glimpse into Queen Victoria’s life. Discover the hand-painted English Rose design that perfectly evokes a sense of charm and sophistication of the Victorian era.
