Harland Miller 'Oh No' Scarf
Last updated: 22 October 2026
Sold out: I checked the Design Museum Shop on 22 October 2026 and the Harland Miller 'Oh No' scarf was sold out, with no restock listed. For similar presents, see our gifts for artists.
The Harland Miller scarf was an 'Oh No' scarf the Design Museum Shop sold for £22 alongside Miller's free display at the museum. The display closed on 25 January 2026, and the scarf has since sold out. The shop still sells eight pieces from the same range, from £80 limited edition posters to a £150 bomber jacket.
What the Harland Miller scarf was
Harland Miller paints huge canvases built around words, with blunt titles such as Boss, Kiss and XXX. He draws his own typefaces, and the scarf carried the words 'Oh No' in his lettering.
It was made from a wool, cotton, polyester and acrylic blend. Because the Design Museum is a charity, buying from its shop also supports the museum.
The display it came from
The scarf belonged to the merchandise for Harland Miller at the Design Museum, a free display that ran from 10 December 2025 to 25 January 2026. Miller curated it with Tim Marlow, the museum's director. Large paintings including Far Out (2022), Boss (2024) and Kiss (2025) hung in the Level 2 gallery, with works on paper on the atrium mezzanine.
Once the display closed, the shop sold through its stock. In September 2026 the shop's Harland Miller range had twelve pieces, and in October it had eight.

Finding the scarf second-hand
On 22 October 2026 an eBay UK search for a Harland Miller scarf found no scarves at all. eBay showed his posters, prints and signed books instead. A saved search on eBay will email you if one is listed, which saves checking by hand.
Where to buy Harland Miller merchandise in the UK
The Design Museum Shop is the only place I found selling the official range from the display. If you want the scarf design itself, the second-hand route is your only option.
