Zandra Rhodes homeware range for M&S

Posted on | 1 Comment

Zandra

Zandra Rhodes remains one of Britain's most recognisable figures, as well known for her appearance as for her colourful textile designs. Her homeware range for M&S is a slight surprise in that its black and white colour scheme makes it looks quite restrained. However, the design reflects Zandra's ongoing interest in all things organic and the lively floral design looks a lot wilder (and also more interesting) than many other naturally inspired homeware designs on offer on the high street.  

The range costs from £6, with this teapot costing £25.

London Undercover Fish and Chips umbrella

Posted on | 1 Comment

FishandchipsSML3

A nice twist on what some people would consider a quintessentially British accessory: the umbrella. The Fish and Chips umbrella is just one design produced by London Undercover, a company founded by Jamie Milestone to overthrow people's conceptions of the fusty brolly. 

The umbrella is printed with an large scale image of a fish and chips supper under the canvas, while the outside is decorated with an old-fashioned replica newspaper print. They also produce models that are decorated with things like traditional English breakfasts and union jacks and they have a special design called the commuter which is a collaboration with London Transport. 

The price for such a patriotic style statement? £50 of your British pounds.
