Sean Connery’s socialite granddaughters Saskia and Natasha at charity fashion show in New York 

Sir Sean Connery‘s granddaughters Saskia and Natasha have unveiled a new tartan in tribute to the late James Bond actor at the Dressed to Kilt fashion show in New York.

The popular event, which was originally co-founded by Connery, the original James Bond, returned after a coronavirus-related hiatus last year and was held at Long Island’s Mill Neck Manor last night. 

During the show, Connery was honoured with a new tartan specially designed for the actor with input from his family, which Saskia, 24, and Natasha, 26, could be seen modelling.

His fellow Dressed to Kilt co-founder Dr Geoffrey Scott Carroll arranged the plan for the kilt which is produced by Glenisla Kilts with a bespoke coat and dress designed by Totty Rocks of Edinburgh.

Dr Carroll said: ‘The creation of the new Sean Connery tartan was an entirely Scottish collaborative effort.

‘Mark Gibson, well known tartan designer, worked together with Lady Connery, Stephane his son, and his granddaughters to create the tartan.

‘Lochcarron of Scotland then wove the new tartan in their mills, and the final kilt was made by John Culbert of Glenisla Kilts.

‘Sir Sean was one of the co-founders of the Dressed to Kilt (DTK) show in 2003 and without his personal support and involvement throughout the years, the show would not have achieved the enormous success that it has.
