1930s-style Riverside pedal car by Le Petit Nouveau

Posted on | Leave a comment

Riverside

Make your child the hippest kid on the block by investing in the Riverside pedal car by Le Petit Nouveau. All for a price obviously.

The Riverside is based on classic 1930s pedal cars, all made in metal (with some rather cool chrome detailing and of course, rubber tyres), with a pale blue finish and the model name proudly displayed on the side.

Downside? Well, it's self-assembly, which is either a good or a bad thing, depending on ow handy you are and there's that price – it goes for just under £200.

Swifty_skates1

Swifty is one of our favourite artists, which is why we asked him to do the latest re-design of our Modculture site. He's also certain to appeal to old school skateboard enthusiasts with his Swifty Skates range.

Just like in '76, the example above is a solid wood (specifically oak) 27-inch deck that's flat and solid, as well as being sanded and lacquered to a shine, decorated with Swifty's graphics top and bottom.

See over the page for another image and check out Swifty's site to see the other boards in the range, as well as the similarly-styled t-shirts, which sell for £25. The boards? They go from £140.

Agent Provocateur and Globe-trotter luggage

Posted on | Leave a comment

AP Globetrotter

What do you get when you combine the heritage and quality of the Globe-trotter brand with the sauciness of Agent Provocateur? Some very nice luggage, that's what. 

On the outside, the cases look like fairly standard Globe-trotter cases in matt black with brass details. Open them up though and they're lined with an exclusive Agent Provocateur print on pale pink silk. The print features pin-up girls in various vintage-style travel stamps that cover locations ranging from Russia to Blackpool. 

As you might expect, the luggage is quite pricey with the trolley suitcase costing £795 and the large suitcase selling for £995. 

Buy it from the Agent Provocateur website

Piccadilly_cushion

We've previously featured Michelle Mason's collaboration with London Transport. Her new cushion collection also draws inspiration from the capital and includes this charming Piccadilly Circus cushion. 

Inspired by old postcards, the design shows a very stylised view of Piccadilly Circus (if only there was that little traffic!), including Eros and the famous advertising hoardings. There's even a couple of classic Routemaster buses to be seen.  

One of the other cushions features Columbia flower market, while the third shows a more generalised London street scene. All the designs are printed onto cotton satin and cost £45 each.
