Pan Am 80th anniversary Prestige Series bags

Posted on | Leave a comment

Panam_new

Yesterday we mentioned the Pan Am limited edition 1950s Hawaiian vanity cases, produced as part of the company’s 80th anniversary. Well, there’s something more exclusive than that – the Pan Am 80th anniversary Prestige Series bags.

The Prestige Collection is serious high-end, made of the finest leather, with a printed satin lining and monogrammed studs and zips.  The pictures probably don’t do them justice or indeed show off the different designs, which are available in either midnight blue or platinum.

If you want to know more, contact Discoo via email for a brochure or images. But be warned, prices on these start at £415 and they’re in strictly limited numbers – which means joining a waiting list.

Vivienne Westwood print bowling bag

Posted on | Leave a comment

Starhearts4120_largeVivienne Westwood is obviously most famous for her involvement in launching punk fashion in Britain.

She’s moved a long way from her infamously named shop, Sex, and is now making high end designer clothing with added quirk.

This bowling bag has a great bowling bag shape and handles, with Westwood’s typical stamp of the ‘out of the ordinary’ with this rather modern print.

The bag will set you back £360, but isn’t that the norm nowadays?
