Agent Provocateur and Globe-trotter luggage

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

Mrs Murphy tile decoration

You can get pin-up girl wallpaper or bedsheets: to complete the look how about these pin-up girl tile decorations from the Mrs Murphy Collection? 

The decorations feature the black outlines of perfectly poised retro-styled girls and are ready to stick onto your kitchen or bathroom tiles, depending on where in your home is most in need of a shot of glamour. They're apparently easily removable and come in packs of ten. Choose from three evocatively named colour options available, each featuring a different girl and in appropriately pastel shades. You can pick from a 'be my baby' blue, a 'Mrs Robinson pink' or finally a 'these boots were made for walkin' green. 

The Mrs Murphy Collection is the work of Malin Ehlin, a Swedish designer. With a bit of internet searching you can find some more of their range which also includes more pin-up covered objects and a retro tattooed themed line. 

These tile decorations cost £12 from the Sivletto website
