Many people choose their 'clan' or family plaid, if you're not sure which clan you belong to you can use our search to find out. However, if you don't have any clan connections, or perhaps you're not of direct Scottish decent you can choose from many generic or district plaids, whichever plaid you like the most or one that simply compliments your outfit - the choice is yours!

Many of our bags are also available made in Tweed, contact our customer service team who will be happy to discuss the options with you.

Yes, plaid purses are fashionable and can be a stylish way to incorporate Scottish heritage into your outfit. Plaid is a timeless pattern, symbolic of traditional Scottish style with colors 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 plaid purses and wallets should be handled and stored with care in order to keep its appearance and ensure it lasts for many years. 100% wool plaid fabric is used in the making of the purses, 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.
