Elsa Schiaparelli was an Italian clothing designer during the time of Coco Chanel’s reign. But her real influence came from the Surrealists and Dadaists. Like a lot of Italians, she fell in love with the Vespa scooter and often featured them in her store windows. (That’s a 1954 Vespa 150 in the photo.) She also incorporated its logo into the silhouette of a pair of folding google-like eyeglasses which may or may not have been produced.
Personally, I’m not seeing the logo. Do you?

$24 since you asked. Honestly, some scooterswag can be almost too cute! These are Robeez slip-ons for babies and toddlers from 0-24 months.

Target should just get it over with and change their red and white logo to the mod rondelle. They consistently have lots of mod themed and scooter stuff in every aisle of their wonderful store.

The latest proof: The Harajuku Mini clothing and accessories collection. The scooter — with training wheels! — makes appearences throughout the “Nerds” theme of this line. Designed by Gwen Stefani who had the same designs in adult sizes back in 2008 and covered in this post here.

The sizes for this clothing are a wee bit smaller, fitting newborns and toddlers. Prices are very reasonable with $19 for the coveralls and $13 for the shirt shown here. Stores will no doubt carry other styles, sizes and even school supplies with this design so explore your local Target soon!

Last but not least, here’s a link to the cute Harajuku TV commercial now running. No scooter in it, but still worth a look:

Kukuxumusu is a company from Pamplona in Navarra, Spain specializing in clothing and product design. Its name means “flea’s kiss” in Basque.

Currently this nice duffle bag with matching key chain mascot is on sale for $35.99 (originally $48.) Their sheep scooter design is also featured on helmets (69,70 €) and other accessories.

If I’m not mistaken, I think one of the first things these guys designed was an adorable shirt featuring a Pamplona bull on a Vespa chasing after a festival runner. And I would kill to own one. (The shirt. Not the bull.)

Both Old Navy and Gap have been very scooter friendly when it comes to t-shirts. Apparently they are also friendly to both the vintage vs. new scooter camps and the cats vs. dogs tribes. Both of the shirts shown here have shown up recently in their kids departments. So it’s always worth a perusal of the sales racks if you’re in their stores.

The top shirt is being modeled by Babette S’s daughter and was found at Old Navy. (Thanks for the photos Babette!) The bottom shirt is from Gap kids. They both feature 3-D elements (the flowers on the riders’ heads) as well as lots and lots of sparkles. Sorry, but neither is available online so keep your eyes peeled!

Some great looking scooter shirts are now available at Merc’s site. In men’s sizes priced at £25.00.

Who doesn’t want a Scooter Santa tie? (Pshaw. I don’t believe you.) The top tie is one of three different designs at the Zazzle.com site. Type in “Scooter Santa Tie” in their search to see everything. Buyer beware: Zazzle is a crafters site like Etsy so quality is all over the board. And the other tie? It occasionally shows up on eBay so it is a bit more of the “rare ol’ swag.”

Update
The bottom tie is made by “Noel” and is named “Santa Moped.”

Thanks to Julie G. for these finds!

The copy for these pjs cracks me up:
“For child’s safety cotton pj’s should always fit snugly. He’s on the go in these car and motorcycle print pj’s with built-in footies to keep him warm on cold nights.”

Because nothing says “safety” like scooters!!

The top two photos show the “transportation” PJs which are on sale for just $7.99. The others pictured I’ve seen in stores and on eBay. Some designer at Carters clearly likes scooters. Lucky us.
