    Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle is reportedly drawing plans to design and sell her own tartan.

    The 48-year-old Scottish songbird reportedly wants to create a new design to add to her official clothing range and other trendy memorabilia.

    "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," The Daily Star quoted one of her aides as saying.

    "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," the aide added.

    Gordon Drummond, who runs an online tartan store in the US, said: "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." (ANI)
