Independence Day
"🎵 My Country, 'Tis of Thee
"My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing..."
~ My Country, 'Tis of Thee, Samuel Francis Smith, 1831
Special relationships between countries and kin have long shaped the journeys of people who have called more than one nation home. Lands of Liberty was created to celebrate the three countries in which its designer has lived as a citizen: the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. Its colours—pillar-box red, white, delft blue, and bright sky blue—draw inspiration from the flags of all three nations, blending their shared heritage into a single design. The tartan serves as a tribute to the ideals of freedom, opportunity, and democratic tradition that connect these countries across the Atlantic. By weaving together the colours of the designer's three homelands, Lands of Liberty reflects a personal journey of citizenship, belonging, and gratitude for the liberties enjoyed in each of these nations.❤️ 🤍 💙 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇨🇦
This tartan was created to honour those countries in which the designer Amanda Brenchley has lived as a citizen: Great Britain, Canada, and the United States of America. The colours can be described as pillar-box red, white, delft blue, and bright sky blue, and represent the combined colours of those countries' flags.
