VinMag.com scans in vintage advertising from their library and then prints it on thick paper. The overall print size is 30x40cm (approximately 12×16 inches). There is a plain border of about 1cm around the image to allow for framing if required. Priced at £5.99.

Spread Shirts is a t-shirt company new to ScooterSwag and they have a really nice collection of scooter shirts on their site that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Unlike CafePress or Etsy, Spread Shirt makes the shirts themselves with submitted designs so the screen printing quality will be a lot more consistent.
Thanks to Julie G. for this find!

Posted by Tracy under MiscellaneousComments Off
Simon Carter is a London accessories designer with lots of stylish things. (Currently he’s carrying anniversary Battle of Britain spitfire cufflinks.) Alas, this scarf isn’t available anymore on his site but that doesn’t mean you can’t use the Googlewebbythingamajig to find one.

Both of these cards are created by LIP International out of Birmingham, England. Although Cassie found the “Congratulations” card locally here in Portland, Oregon, the second card is available in their online store under ironically “Vespa.”
Thanks to Cassie for this find!

“ClippyKits” seem to be a UK phenom and if we’re lucky, they will find their way over here. From what I can tell, it’s a way of encasing photos in clear plastic so they can be sewn on bags and pencil cases, etc. And you can customize to your hearts content with these little extras like the scooter set shown here. They remind me a lot of the scrapbooking extras you can get here.
Thanks to Julie G. for this find!

Didn’t have too much luck finding links for these cards but maybe you will be more successful. Made by a UK greeting card company called Yoodoo, they can be personalized which I think is way neat.

Movmoda is a new company making “athletic” lingerie in Italian fabrics. Their latest fashion show featured models doing tricks on bicycles, but alas not on scooters. Probably would have smoked the crowd to death but oh how cool that would have looked!
Thanks to Jessica S. for this find.
