    tartan purse

    so my girl friend just got a new purse and it had a great looking tartan on it and i was wondering if it was an actual registered tartan, or just a design that some one created.



    i know that chances are probably slim that's its a registered tartan but i figured this was the place to ask. and if is a registered tartan than it would be nice to know the name of it!

    Thought at first it might be Spirit of Scotland but it's not.

    It looks like one of the modern grey tartans - similar to Highland Mist but probably specific to one mill. I can't pin it down further than that right now

    It's a "fancy" or fashion sett, not a recognizable clan or district tartan. It's also a tartan tweed, which is when tweed yarns (i.e. each color used is a marl of multiple colors of dyed wool) are used to weave a tartan design.

    Just out of curiosity, what is the name of the manufacturer of the purse (the brand on the tag inside)?
