During her visit to Canada in 2016, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) carried a scarf in red and green Maple Leaf tartan (the national Canadian tartan) by York Scarves.
She carried the scarf on days four and five of the tour during her visit to Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon.
In a few photographs, we spotted a logo on a label poking out from the side of the scarf. It features a cursive Y and an S.
With a little sleuthing work, we found the logo belongs to a company called York Scarves:

Here’s how they describe the tartan scarf on their website:

UPDATE: Kate wore the scarf again on the 6th of December 2020, during the Royal Train Tour.
