“Coty and Piaggio Group have signed a deal to create a fragrance duo under the Vespa scooter name.

Let’s hope they design some cool bottles. (Pretty please?)
This was a fun clip to watch even though I am still not sure why anyone would want a “Tytus.” I am also amazed when companies don’t keep archives of their products, past and present. But it’s a lot more common for them to forget their past in an effort just to keep up with the present. I think all companies need a docent/librarian.

Remember the Truval shirt ad from earlier this week? Well here’s a shirt that would not look out of place in that same ad. It features little Lambrettas, little Vespas and (I think?) little Fiats. It’s 100% cotton with a chambray collar and costs £24.95. Sizes run from S-XXL.
Thanks to Alice D. for this find!
Here’s an ad with bias against beatniks but a favorable attitude towards Lambrettas. Of course beatniks may not be partial to shaving and snazzy shirts but some do like scooters as in this song:
We’ve featured Kiddimoto scooters before on ScooterSwag but now we’ve got a new US source for them.
