I sometimes get asked if we do matching purses to go with our handbag designs and so, this year I’ve started making purses to go with our tweed bags.

Here are a couple of examples. Both these fine lambswool tweed fabrics are from Johnstons of Elgin in the highlands of Scotland. I love the colour in both these tweeds.

Mini Check

The small check has a turquoise background with checks woven in red, navy, cornflower blue and green.I’ve trimmed it with a dark brown calf leather and both styles are lined with a mid brown grosgrain lining.

Big Check

The large check material has a lovely subtle depth to the turquoise background, so it’s not just a flat colour. Again, I’ve used a brown leather for the trim.

Both fabrics look great with lots of outfits and tweed can be used to dress up a casual outfit or to dress down a smarter look.

I think these blue based tweeds look particularly good with denim, so put on your jeans and grab your tweed bag this winter!

I make both sizes of bag in both tweeds so if you’re a handheld lady or a shoulder bag girl, there is one for you!
