Celebration Series

For the Solheim Cup, we developed a series of bespoke silk scarf designs that celebrated the spirit of the tournament and the rich cultural heritage of its host region, Andalucía. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes, architecture, and traditions of southern Spain, our designs featured intricate illustrations of landmarks like the Mezquita Mosque and the Ronda bridge, alongside elements of flamenco culture, native wildflowers, and the region’s renowned gastronomy.

Crafted from the finest silk and made in England, these limited-edition pieces captured the warmth and vibrancy of Andalucía, blending artistry, storytelling, and luxury craftsmanship. The Solheim Cup collection exemplifies our passion for creating meaningful, bespoke designs that honour both the event and the location, ensuring each scarf is not only a statement of style but also a timeless keepsake.

For the Ryder Cup, we created a bespoke silk scarf design celebrating the rich heritage of Italy and Rome, the host of the 2023 tournament. Inspired by iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, Vatican, and Rialto Bridge, as well as Italian culture—gondolas, Venetian masks, olive branches, and classic cuisine—each element was carefully woven into a stunning composition. Presented in two distinct colourways, the design captured the elegance and energy of both the Ryder Cup’s brand palette and the Italian national colours. Crafted from the finest silk and made in England, this exclusive piece was a timeless tribute to one of golf’s most prestigious events.

As we prepared for the Paris 2024 Olympics, we developed the idea of creating bespoke silk scarves to celebrate this iconic event. With a rich history of designing for royalty, international sporting events, and luxury brands, we saw an opportunity to craft something truly special—elegant, handcrafted pieces that embody both artistry and heritage. Each design reflects the spirit of the Olympics while maintaining the timeless sophistication that defines Firehorse International.

Celebration of Paris concept: A beautiful limited edition of art on silk to celebrate Paris, the world capital of fashion. The iconic imagery features the culture, heritage and landscape of Paris. Also add to Equestrian – the concept – A collectible and striking piece of artwork on silk to celebrate the world class aspirations and reputation of British Olympic and Paralympic equestrian athletes. We chose Equestrian as a feature sport to play on our logo as the symbol of strength, power, freedom and beauty – to tapinto the brand values of Firehorse International.

Unfortunately we never actually launched this intended range but could be available as part of our archive opportunity. Of particular interest maybe our Equestrian designs and if so please contact us- roland@firehorse-international.com

Birmingham was known as the city of 1000 trades and a leading producer of metalware - guns, ammunition,toys, motor cycles, cars, tools utensils, pen nibs and watches, the centre of European printing and the formation of Banking and as such known for its plethora of small artisan workshops.

The shapes found within our Equestrian scarf take inspiration from the gardens of the Château de Versailles and features as the centrepiece of our design as it featured the Olympic Games in 2024. The design is split into four elegant quarters, inspired by the formal landscaping of the palace gardens.Twirling vines curl throughout the design. Amongst the maze of foliage you will find horseshoes, stirrups, medals and rosettes that hint at a proud sporting history. An intricate pattern inspired by horsehair braiding forms a delicate border and further research into horse tack led us to include the lines of metal chains, inspired by bits and bridles. Hidden within the garden are four vignettes featuring decorative horseshoes, a proud thoroughbred and Lady Godiva, a formidable Saxon noblewoman who embodies the courageous Firehorse spirit.

The horses that we've included in the design represent the three distinct Olympic Equestrian disciplines: Dressage, standing proudly to attention at the top of the design, Eventing to the left, powering to victory and Steeplechase to the right, effortlessly soaring over any obstacle. The Firehorse can be seen charging across the base of the design wild and free.
