Loop de Loop is a small company based in Edinburgh that “designs and makes things we really like ourselves” which includes a lovely range of Vintage Material Washbags, affectionately called Old Bags.
There are several retro designs to choose from and each has been given an appropriate girl’s name. Pictured here is Betty, other choices include Kathleen (blue daisy print), Matilda (a kangaroo print) and Coral (abstract orange design).
As they use reclaimed fabric, there is only a limited number of bag available. They cost £18 and are made to order.
To see the full collection, visit the Loop De Loop website.
