Marimekko Kaivo tonic bag

Posted on | Leave a comment

Marimekko_kaivo
We touched on the Marimekko Kaivo design some time ago. But now it has been revisited by Marimekko for a new range of items, including this Marimekko Kaivo tonic bag.

The Kaivo design was introduced in 1964 by Maija Isola, but the new colourways (including this mustard yellow) have been created by Maija’s daughter, Kristina Isola and used on a range of new bags.

This tonic bag is made of 100 per cent light cotton and is ideal as an everyday bag for throwing your essentials in. It retails for £38.

Monza copper alarm clock

Posted on | Leave a comment

Monza
If the idea of waking up to some early morning DJ doesn’t appeal or you just want to invest in a smart travel timepiece, you might want to check out this Monza copper alarm clock.

Monza because it is reminiscent of the clocks in vintage racing cars and copper because that’s that the outer casing consists of (or you can opt for a gunmetal finish instead). Combined, it’s a very cool clock.

Sized at 70 x 35 x 70cm and powered by an AAA battery, you can pick one up for £19.

We featured the Pure EVOKE-1XT Marshall Edition DAB digital radio some time back. As the name suggests, it’s a DAB radio in the shape of a classic Marshall amplifier.

It costs about £100 – but you can bid for one signed by your favourite rock star instead, including everyone from Paul Weller, Graham Coxon, Oasis and Pete Doherty to old school acts like Hawkwind, Bill Wyman, Alice Cooper and Ronnie Wood.

The auctions take place in October at the  Rockstar Radios website, with proceeds going to Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy.

Yes, this is a replica of the jacket worn by Ernesto Che Guevara for his legendary motorcycle journey across Latin America. It’s a wax cotton, 4 pocket, belted, classic motorcycle jacket, made with the same materials and working methods as originally used in the 1950s.

And for that kind of attention to detail, you have to pay the price – £359.99.

No prizes for guessing why this Tulip Chair is so named.

A timeless design that still looks ahead of the game today. You can pick one up from £622, dependent on your choice of fabric.

An interesting piece of vintage art on the V&A website – the Jack Kerouac On The Road poster.

It’s actually the sleeve art for the 1958 publication of the beat generation classic, published by Andre Deutsch. And the artist might surprise you too – it was Len Deighton. Yes, that Len Deighton, before he moved into bestselling novels himself.

Sized at 59cm x 84cm, you can pick one up for £15.
