Description
This vintage poster wash bag carries the Boat Race 1923 design across its cream front panel, a bold piece of travel art in deep blues and soft lilac. The scene is a rowing eight seen from above, its long white shell cutting through the water with orange-tipped oars fanned out on either side and a second boat close behind. The printed words read Nearest Stations along the top, Boat Race 1923 in tall capitals, and Putney Bridge, Hammersmith and Chiswick Park along the foot. The body is dark navy PU leather, piped in cream, with a cream zip trim and a matching carry loop at one end. It measures 30cm long, 14cm tall and 11cm deep.
At 30cm long, it takes a full set of everyday toiletries: toothbrush, razor, shaving foam, deodorant and the bottles that never quite fit anywhere else. It sits neatly on a bathroom shelf or beside the basin, and packs into a weekend bag or suitcase for holidays and overnight stays. The carry loop makes it easy to lift out of a case or hang from a hook on the back of a door. It works just as well as a make-up bag, or as a tidy home for chargers, cables and medicines on the move. The rowing scene and crisp lettering give it far more character than a plain bag, and the cream panel frames the poster beautifully.
The outer is PU leather over a polyester lining, and the zip, made from PU leather, plastic and metal parts, runs along the top so everything inside is easy to see and reach. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a damp cloth and a little neutral detergent, and never wash, bleach, iron, tumble dry or dry clean it. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a thoughtful present that earns its place on the shelf every single day.
