Dachshund
clutch Okay so this fabulous
leather Dachshund bag is
not Polish - it was designed
by the fantastic Keecie girls
in the Netherlands – but
no-one loves their
Dachshunds more than the
Poles so we had to have
this bag. It brings a whole
new meaning to taking the
dog for a walk. Very well
behaved – it doesn’t bark
or whine – and it will carry
your keys, phone and
wallet with style.

tail 57cm

Messy Table cloth I don’t know about you but Christmas dinner in my
home is always a messy meal. Although, the mess is
caused by chaos and laughter and many, many pleasant
memories, rather than an unwelcome side effect.
Messy is embroidered with outlines of the mess
created by eating, which designers Aze hope will bring
interaction and humour to the table. Made from 100%
cotton and sewn by the woman at the BERDO craft
group, MESSY will certainly make a statement at your
table this Christmas.

Maluchy t-shirt
The Fiat Maluch was the most popular car for a typical Polish 2+2 family in the 1980s - in fact designer's Pan tu nie stal
recall the unforgettable experience of travelling to Bulgaria for their holidays in a tiny little Maluch fully packed and
complete with tent strapped to the roof! Introduced to Poland as the Polski Fiat 126p in 1973 it was its very small size
which resulted in the nickname Maluch ("the small one"). The nickname became so popular that in 1997 it was accepted
by the producer as the official name of the car. And although production ceased in 2000 Maluchs can still be found
travelling the roads of Poland. Please state size when ordering.
