Holdorangepaper

A new range from Mini Moderns is always a cause for celebration and their Hold Tight collection is no exception. The range has been produced for London Transport Museum, and is suitably transport themed. Specifically, it's based on bus tickets. The wallpaper pictured is based on a collection of vintage bus tickets and is available in a choice of three different colourways. Meanwhile, a canvas bag design uses a motif made by working an old Gibson ticketing machine. 

As well as those two products, the range also includes a tea towel and a cushion. Prices start at £8 for the tea towel, with the wallpaper costing £45 a roll.

Forest tea towel

Michelle Mason's colourful retro designs are always favourites on this site, so it's good to see some new products from the designer, including this Forest Picnic tea towel.

Like most of her designs, it's mid-century inspired, though the colours, the depiction of the vintage ceramics and the flora give it something of a Scandinavian feel too. The effect is further enhanced by its striking turquoise, pale blue and black colour scheme. 

The tea towel costs £10.

Elde tea towel

It's a classy piece of design which looks like it would be more at home on the wall than in the kitchen but in fact this '50s style tea towel is from H&M. 

Designer Anna Karin-Elde has depicted two ceramics, drawn in a sketchy fifties style. The simple design is then printed onto 100% organic cotton. 

You'd expect H&M to be cheap but in fact this design is on sale so it's even more of a bargain, costing just £3.49.
