Which one do you like best?
First up we have a natural fiber pillow with a rustic screen print. You can choose from two different fabrics and the also team it up with other vehicle designs. It measures approximately 16″ X 16″ and is £23. Thanks to retrotogo.com for this find.
Choice two is a blue and green French pillow that reverses to a smaller print of the same scooter on the other side. It’s 100% cotton and measures approximately 34 X 24 cm. It costs €30.
I have always loved vintage waterslides. I have a vague recollection of applying them to my bicycle when I was very small. Gosh that dates me! Anyhoo, here is a prime specimen spotted on eBay recently. If you’d like to wallow in a little more vintage goodness (and some rather randy imagery), click below.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Jonathan Adler for his pervasive love of all things retro and kitsch. But he hadn’t produced a single bit of scootery until just recently. Get ready to empty your wallets folks, because his style ain’t cheap. The Positano needlepoint pillow is $98, the Jet Set Duchess totes are $178 and the Vespa Jute Pouch is $38. Sigh. I need a sugar daddy.
Here are the best sites I’ve come across with vintage scooter images and ads. Lots of good mining here for crafters and collectors alike!
Thanks to Joe B. for some of these finds.
Sigh. This print is already sold out! Titled “The Relentless Party” it came out earlier this year and was in a limited edition print of 150. They measure 22 X 54″ and were $400.
I know what you’re thinking. “That technically isn’t a scooter!” But check out that Vespa cowl!
And for your enjoyment I’m including a postcard from the 2008 Gasoline Rally in Indianapolis with more Space Scooter goodness.
About the art print:
It’s a limited edition giclee by Chris Reccardi. It measures 48 × 24 × 7/8″ and is $400 (not including shipping). It comes signed and is in a numbered edition of only 50.
Thanks to Tim for this find!
Cassie and I are unable to determine her clock’s “provenance” — it has the ubiquitous “Made in China” sticker. But we have determined it’s super rad.
Apparently I don’t know my scooters well enough to tell you which models these are but I can identify them as “gorgeous.†They each measure approximately 32″ high and 26″ wide and are $150 each, framed.
Thanks to Super Swagerista Julie G. for this find!
