Britain's Got Talent superstar Susan Boyle is planning to design and sell her own range of tartan products, a report has claimed. The 48-year-old is to help to develop a range of branded memorabilia.
Sources told a Sunday newspaper that Susan plans to create her own unique pattern and will lodge the design with the Scottish Register of Tartans.
Fashion industry experts have predicted that Boyle's tartan products would rapidly become bestsellers in countries like Japan and America, say the Daily Star Sunday.
A source close to Susan said: "We aim to repackage Susan completely.
"It will be Susan herself driving the design team, so fans are guaranteed a personal touch that will transform souvenirs into something special.
"She hopes to create merchandise that combines traditional quality with a hip, modern look. People already love her debut album - now they're going to love her chic tartan image."
Tartan retailer Gordon Drummond told the newspaper: "In the case of the Boyle clan, there is a Boyle Personal pattern which is predominantly blue and green, although some Boyles prefer wearing Galloway Red.
"Either way, this might actually work in Susan's favour as her designers will be able to start from scratch and create a Susan Boyle Tartan.
"It wouldn't be strictly historically accurate but who cares? She'll turn herself into a brand that most performers would die for and no fan could possibly fail to recognise."
