Here’s an adorably detailed little Vespa silver plated charm from Brighton. It measures 3/4″ long and 1/2″ tall. It snaps onto charm bracelets or necklaces and has a Swarovski Crystal headlight and possibly taillight. It’s suggested retail is $15. For store location info, visit the Brighton site:

I picked this up for very cheap on eBay from a European seller. It’s about the size of a half dollar and is very detailed for it’s size. It doesn’t have any markings on the back but almost looks like a mass produced item ready to be imprinted with the name of a scooter club or event on the bottom. Anyone else seen any of these? Let us know with a comment (see above) or e-mail us !

It might get confusing. There are also egg cups, money banks and trinket boxes in these same scooter shapes if you don’t want to risk putting pepper on something you didn’t want to. Prices range from £4 to £7 at UK retailer the Purple Puffin.

Thanks to Julie for this great find!

This site has a lot of Lambretta merc – whether it’s truly “Lambretta” licensed goods or not is anyone’s guess. Still, if you crave some ‘bretta blingage, then why not? Click the link below to go to the site, then type “Lambretta” into the search engine to see everything.

Thanks to Julie G. for these finds!

The front of this scooter says “Vespa” but the back end is more Honda Elite. Oh and unless that’s a small panther stuffed in the back of that basket, no house cat’s head is that big. And I have seen some enormous house cats in my time. In any case, what a rare brooch! It measures a whopping 2″ long and is marked “Dario” on the back.
And just to make you all incredibly jealous, I got this on eBay for $6.50. With shipping.

And to mark 2011, here’s a shiny bauble. It’s a bead charm and is $30.00. It’s .925 sterling silver and has a threaded interior that fits most European charm bracelets. I like the fact that since it’s a bead, it’s probably a lot harder to lose than a charm dangling off a necklace! Thanks to TJ (a soon-to-be fellow scooterist) for this find in “Delightful Daisy” — his own online store:

After hearing about this school kid craze for awhile I thought “There has to be a scooter one.” (And yes, there is.) For those of you not up on this fad, these are stretchy bracelets that retain their shape and that kids trade back and forth like baseball cards. Has it jumped the pond yet?
