There are some pairings in the fashion world that just make sense, and tonight’s announcement is more than just a style drop; it’s a collision of two powerhouses of positivity.
Scamp & Dude is joining forces with the nation’s favourite ray of sunshine, Alison Hammond, to unveil the latest weapon in their mission to change the world: the Scamp & Dude x Alison Hammond Charity Super Scarf.
If you’ve watched Alison lighting up the screen on This Morning or keeping things sweet on The Great British Bake Off, you know she's the perfect partner for Scamp & Dude’s signature mission.

It is a "superpower-infused hug" - a physical reminder that even in the darkest hospital wards, you are wrapped in love and strength.
To date, thousands of women have received these scarves, but this latest collaboration feels particularly sweet. For Alison, this wasn't about just picking a pattern from a catalogue. Every inch of the Neutral Jaguar Charity Super Scarf is woven with her personal history.
"My mum was mad into leopard print, obsessed!" Alison shares. "She had rugs, clothes, handbags, shoes, everything was leopard print and so wearing leopard print reminds me of her and brings me closer to her."
Look closer, and you’ll see the Alison magic in the details. The design features delicate moons, a symbol of a pivotal moment in her own life.
"I love moons and they are significant in my life because when I met my now-boyfriend, we were literally under moonlight," she reveals. "It was the most beautiful moon."

In a world that can sometimes feel a bit grey, Alison wanted to ensure that anyone wearing this scarf - or receiving one in a hospital bed - had a literal spark of light. "I chose neon yellow because it brings sunshine to you," she says. "No matter where you are or how you’re feeling, you’ll always have sunshine in your life."
For founder Jo Tutchener-Sharp OBE, bringing Alison into the Scamp & Dude family was a dream years in the making. Having watched Alison champion the brand on TV and in her private life, Jo knew that the presenter embodied the brand’s DNA: fun, caring, and just a little bit cheeky.

"It makes me smile knowing her Super Scarf will soon be wrapped around women in hospitals across the UK as they begin chemotherapy, sending them a little piece of Alison Hammond magic when they need it most."
Style Guide: How to Wear the Alison Hammond Super Scarf
The beauty of the Neutral Jaguar print is its versatility. Pair your scarf with a bright neon yellow knit. The neutral jaguar base keeps the look sophisticated, while the neon accents tie the colours together for a high-energy, mood-boosting ensemble. If you’re heading to the office or a lunch date, drape the scarf long over a classic camel trench coat.
Because of its generous size and soft feel, the Super Scarf doubles as an elegant shawl or a beach cover-up. Wear it as a sarong over a yellow or black swimsuit on vacation.
The Scamp & Dude x Alison Hammond Neutral Jaguar Charity Super Scarf is priced at £40.
