Payne Tartan

Historical Context

The Payne Tartan is associated with the Payne family, a lineage tracing back to medieval Scotland, reflecting a rich blend of both English and Scottish heritage. Although not tied to a specific Scottish clan, the Payne family is renowned for its resilience and deep connection to the land. The family crest, featuring a knight’s helmet, symbolizes courage and protection, while their motto, “Malo Mori Quam Foedari” (I Would Rather Die Than Be Dishonored), embodies a profound commitment to honor and bravery. This tartan design pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the Payne family.

Color Scheme and Pattern

The Payne Tartan displays a striking palette of deep blue, purple, black, and fine yellow lines, woven into a bold yet balanced grid pattern:

• Deep Blue: Loyalty and depth

• Purple: Dignity and royalty

• Black: Strength and tradition

• Yellow Lines: Light and clarity

This thoughtful combination makes the tartan suitable for formal events and casual occasions, offering a modern interpretation of traditional Scottish design. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, it provides both durability and comfort.
