Having first come to light in the 19th century on a small Scottish island in the famous Shetland archipelago, this polychromatic pattern had its moment of glory in 1921 when the Prince of Wales – and elegance – Edward VIII wore it in public as a cardigan. Traditionally composed of geometric forms (crosses, lozenges or hexagons) and in four colours, today it comes in an infinite variety of motifs and alternating nuances.
