Yes, the whispers are true, Squidlondon have conquered the outdoors with their colour-changing ways and now they’ve brought some more fun, this time to your bathroom!

Enter Miss Squidolette, the feminine and fun colour-changing shower curtain. Monochrome and stylish when dry, playful and bright when splashed with water!

As soon as you step into your steamy shower and the warm water hits the white illusive  ’Miss Squidolette’ shower curtain, a line of your familiar beauty products shimmies into colourful life, reminding you of your beautifying bathroom routine!

We’re currently stocked in ‘La Boutique des Inventions’ in Paris, ‘Camera Obscura’ in Edinburgh, ‘Discovery’ in Hamburg and ‘Kado om de Hoek’ in the Netherlands.

Umbrella vending machine, Tokyo

Di Classe Umbrella Stand, Perfect for city people who don’t have space to grow plants; where bottom tray is covered in artificial grass.

Written by one who has yet to leave Western Europe, I can guarantee you that Japan is top of my list of desirable destinations.
Sure it boasts an amazing economy, buzzing cities and exciting cuisine but have you clapped eyes on their umbrella ethos?! We are lightyears behind in the rainwear industry compared to these stylish solutions….Check them out!

All over the country, festival goers are brimming with excitement as the countdown to summer festivals begins! We say summer in the loosest sense of the word as we all know that summer rain is practically a British institution! Enter the fabulous Squidarella! You will stand out like a colourful beacon from the crowd (handy if you get lost from your friends!) and stay dry. Just don’t steal ALL the attention from the main acts, somehow we don’t think Julian Casablancas would appreciate it!

Check out the usual big ‘uns like Benicassim (14-17 July) which has an amazing line up. Also worth mentioning are the smaller kookie festivals like Wilderness (12-14 August) in Oxfordshire.

Whatever music you decide to follow we’ve included some boutique accessories to make your experience marvellous!!
