Historical Significance
The Dutch Tartan is a contemporary addition to the rich tapestry of tartans, designed and registered in 1996 by Henk van de Loo, a Dutchman inspired by his Scottish heritage. This tartan stands out for not being affiliated with any specific Scottish clan, reflecting instead the Dutch people's admiration for Scotland and its culture. Its registration with the Scottish Tartan Authority marks it as a unique tribute to the ties between the Netherlands and Scotland. Dutch Tartan gained notable recognition when it was worn by the Dutch Curling Team during the 2018 Winter Olympics, further solidifying its place in the realm of modern tartans.
Color Scheme & Pattern
Featuring a bold and distinctive plaid design, the Dutch Tartan showcases a harmonious blend of blue, black, white, and orange. The dominant black and blue hues create a strong foundation, while the striking white and orange elements juxtapose beautifully, making the pattern visually captivating. The intricate grid-like effect results from the intersecting horizontal and vertical lines adding a touch of vibrancy that ties the design together, symbolizing unity and cultural appreciation.
