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?

Hanne B. from Belgium spotted this coin-op ride in the town of Tilburg in The Netherlands. Thanks for the awesome photos Hanne! Wonder if it makes two-stroke or beeping horn noises?

Cost Plus World Market came out with the wallet-friendly fenderlight Christmas ornaments but they also carry a lot of other scooter merchandise like these glasses. You can buy a set online or visit their stores to buy just one to hold your toothbrushes. The set of four is $15.96. Other designs feature the London skyline and a red telephone box as well as Paris and a little Fiat. Made in Italy.

Thanks to Michelle and Julie G. for this find!
