The Drop Scones Not Bombs slogan is a nice variation on Make Tea Not War which itself is a very British twist on the Make Love Not War motto of the 60s protest movement.
Here it is printed onto an organic unbleached cotton tote bag, which includes a pin badge and a recipe for making the traditional northern delicacy of drop scones. In keeping with the peace-loving slogan, the design incorporates the CND logo as well as a picture of a drop scone.
The bag costs £10 from Hunkydory Home.
Working under the delightful name of U Old bag, textile designer Lisa Tiley creates bespoke products using reclaimed and vintage materials, which includes a range of Vintage Decoupage Suitcases.
A variety of old suitcases have been given a new lease of life by being decorated with vintage magazine images, then varnished with a protective lacquer to make it waterproof. Each piece is unique with the current range including weekend size suitcases and vanity cases. The prices range from about £160 up to £255, which isn’t particularly cheap, but perhaps worth it if only to avoid any confusion on the luggage carousel again.
You can buy online from U Old Bag’s Esty store.
It's a stunning item, but the Buco 1950s helmet bag will set you back a serious amount of cash.
Originally designed for bike riders from the 1950s to the 1970s to carry helmets (as you might have guessed), it can be used for that today or indeed, double up as a very hip weekend bag. It's been remade for the Japanese market in steer hide, with talon zippers, a nylon lining and inner pockets and in very limited numbers, a smaller number of which have made it to the UK.
Two colourways available, each selling for £345.
