Tartan galore from Ness

Filed under What Present To Buy Someone Who Loves Tartan

Tartan is one of those materials that never goes out of fashion and it's not just diehard Scottish patriots and London fashionistas who love it.

Founded in Edinburgh in 1996, Ness takes inspiration from the contemporary feel and flavour of its birthplace while genially thumbing its nose at tradition,. They use brilliant colours and a cheeky reinterpretation of classic plaid and check pieces to steer tartan away from its highlands, heather and honey image into the mainstream fashion stakes.

Of all Ness’s collection of mini kilts, cute cropped jackets, skirt suits, vibrant knitwear, accessories and luggage my favourite are the fantastic Ness Bags.

The Lauren is a two pocket shoulder bag in leather and tweed. (size: 35x46x11cm) which is available in four different tartans.

Even better, the Lauren bag is currently on sale for £39.95 (was £65). more
