ANOTHER STUDIO
Stocked in London’s Design
Museum, among others,
Another Studio’s MONUmini
m o d e l s c o m e in s t ain l e s s
steel pieces to fold and
lock together. Try a tiny
Battersea Power Station
or Tower Bridge
(www.another-studio.com).
BISCUITEERS
Would you dare to dunk
one of the Queen’s guards?
These vanilla-scented biscuits
from Biscuiteers come in
a box that will fit through your
letterbox. Buttons are the key
to spotting which regiment
a foot guard is in: it’s singles
for Grenadier Guards, pairs
for Coldstream, threes for
Scots, fours for Irish and,
finally, fives for Welsh
(www.biscuiteers.com).
LIBERTY
Designer Richard Quinn’s
bag patch celebrates
the store that’s famed for
its prints – so much so that
the Art Nouveau style
became known in Italy
as ‘stile liberty’. The 1920s
Tudor Revival building (even
the lifts are wood-panelled)
used timbers from a pair
of Royal Navy battleships
(www.libertylondon.com).
TATTY DEVINE
Handmade jewellery in
bold designs is the mainstay
of Tatty Devine’s outlet on
Brick Lane, and the branch
at Seven Dials. Laser-cut
acrylic necklaces include
a red London bus serving
Route 15 Heritage – the last
to use the old Routemaster
bus (www.tattydevine.com).
