Yes, tartan handbags are fashionable and can be a stylish way to incorporate Scottish heritage into your outfit. Tartan is a timeless pattern, symbolic of traditional Scottish style with colours and tones to suit every season and often seen on the fashion runways every year especially by the likes of Vivienne Westwood and most recently by Dior.
Our tartan handbags should be handled and stored with care in order to keep its appearance and ensure it lasts for many years. 100% wool tartan fabric is used in the making of the bags, spot cleaning with a mild wool detergent and cold water is recommended but you should avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the natural fibres. Wool fabric can become dull with general dust and dirt, gentle brushing with a lint brush will remove this and brighten it up again.
If your handbag has leather components, treat them regularly with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple (make sure you avoid getting this on the tartan) Always store your tartan handbag in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect it from sunlight, moths and moisture, which can fade and ruin the material over time.
Always consult a professional cleaner or laundrette for any stains or when a deep cleaning is required.
Time for a little Scottish terminology, if you are not familiar "muckle" means big, "peerie" is to have a wee look and "poak" is a bag, often for chips but in this case an elegant Poak for your purse and lipstick perfect for a wedding or night out. Choose your tartan and we will handmake a very special accessory just for you.
