I've just seen the final Mapperton scarf—and it's phenomenal

A special edition—outside our usual every-other-Monday newsletter—because this news simply couldn't wait.

Dear friends,

I had to write to you straight away, because I have just seen the final scarf design— and I am genuinely overwhelmed. It is phenomenal.

There are so many motifs woven into this design that many of you will instantly recognise from your time with us—through Mapperton, through YouTube, through every visit and every restoration you have supported—plus a few special details that are entirely new. I cannot wait for you to see it!

We are now deep into choosing colours. Rory, Malcolm and I are looking at three to four different colourways, and—here is the lovely part—these colours will also help guide the palette for the West Bedroom restoration itself. The scarf and the room are becoming part of the same story, in the truest sense.

Once we approve the colours, the sample will be sent to Italy to be made, and then it comes back to us for final approval before we move into full production. We are getting incredibly close now.

A quick note for those of you who have already joined the waitlist: thank you. We have had over 300 of you sign up, and you do not need to do anything further—we have you, and you will be the very first to know the moment the collection is ready to order.

If you have not yet joined, I would love for you to think of it almost like placing your name down for a preorder. This will be a true limited run! And once they are gone, they are gone.

This project has become something I am so deeply proud of. It represents my time here at Mapperton, the history of this house, and—just as much—it represents all of you. So many of you have been part of the Mapperton story for years now, whether through watching us grow on YouTube, visiting in person, or supporting the restorations that have brought this house back to life piece by piece. This scarf carries all of that with it.

Thank you for being part of it.

With so much love,

Julie x
