Chinoiserie Chic: Mad for Plaid

Sequin Black Watch Plaid Handbag

I have always loved plaid. I came to love it even more living in Alexandria, Virginia for many years. Alexandria was founded by Scotsmen and the biggest event of the year is the Scottish Walk, always the first weekend in December. The weekend always included a gala where tartan was the preferred attire. I would wear a black watch tartan strapless silk taffeta gown.

Black Watch is one of the most famous and popular tartans ever‚ recognized the world over. In 1725, the Black Watch was formed by companies from Clans Campbell‚ Fraser‚ Munro and Grant with their warrior natures to guard and protect the Highlands‚ and authorized to wear their kilt and bear arms. Black watch plaid combines black, green, and blue. Black watch is such a classic choice for fall and winter and perfect for the holidays.

I love this sequin black watch plaid handbag. "Meet Mathilde, our new must-have evening bag. In sequin, with a removable shoulder strap, this compact style boasts some of our signature details, like gold tone hardware and leather-bound handles."
