Handbag of the Week: 3.1 Phillip Lim

By Fiona Raisbeck

3.1 Phillip Lim Editor bag Editor bag, £270 from Browns

After we spotted tartan-clad models strutting down the catwalks for Preen, Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana's autumn/winter 08 shows we knew that the Highland look was going to be big news this winter. From coats and skinny trousers to ruffled blouses and rock chick dresses, tartan has gone from traditional and country to sexy and cool.

Preen, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana So we thought it was only fair to share this little beauty with you to ensure you look achingly stylish and are ahead of the pack when it comes to winter's key trends. From cool cult label, 3.1 Phillip Lim, this ‘Editor' bag ticks all the style boxes: traditional Highland-inspired red and black tartan checks, woolly texture and black leather trim and handles. What's more, by investing in this bag - now in the sale reduced from £385 to £270 - not only will you own a slice of the much lusted after label, but you will have snared the perfect accessory to make you look chic all through the new season. Now that's what we call a fashion bargain!
