Scaramanga’s new stock of vintage wooden shaving boxes, old money boxes and spice pots are all about colour!

Of course, don’t panic; there is still a new and extensive choice of classic and timeless pieces showing the naturally beautiful tones of the wood. But for those who want something to really stand out or who just love all things colourful, the new selection also includes a fantastic array of colours from blue to pink; with patterns, engraving and without.

Each piece will have been painted at some point in the past by a previous owner, which has faded over time, revealing some of the original colour of the wood underneath: perfect for jazzing up any interior, whilst still leaving a wonderful worn vintage look.

Shaving boxes make great trinket boxes, gifts or women’s jewellery boxes whilst spice pots add a unique touch to the kitchen, or anywhere around the house you like. 

Available in various sizes, colours and styles, Scaramanga spice pots, shaving boxes and small wooden boxes start from £20.

Summer 2010 sees the launch of a brand new range of Scaramanga vintage leather satchels. Inspired by the iconic old school satchel – this summer’s ‘must-have’ leather bag for men and women – Scaramanga’s range ticks all the boxes for the perfect satchel…

Scaramanga now use buffalo leather which makes them even stronger and sturdier than before, but they are still soft to the touch; whilst still maintaining that same vintage-leather look and feel that we love so much about the original Scaramanga leather satchel.

So, you can take it everywhere and use it for anything, from travelling to college work; a hand bag to a laptop bag. You can always be assured that your satchel will be reliable because, as we say… it only gets better with time and use; each mark tells a story and only adds to that vintage look.

It’s the essential fashion accessory which is stylish yet practical at an incredibly affordable price. Scaramanga’s leather bags are available in a variety of sizes and styles, prices starting from just £45.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day
sees the launch of a new collection of antique and vintage wooden chests
and boxes. Finding an old wooden chest is not just for pirates like
Captain Jack Sparrow. Although most will not be used to store a pirate’s
booty, an old chest complements a contemporary or traditional interior
and an ideal storage solution for the most fanatical hoarders. 

The new collection of old wooden chests
range from small vintage shaving boxes, to stationery boxes, to large
authentic brass bound colonial teak chests. Each has been meticulously
restored by skilled craftsmen to ensure it can be used for many years
to come. Each piece is different in style. Many have secret compartments,
some faded painted finishes; others have beautiful brass bindings and
edging. The solid tropical hardwood construction and classic styling
gives each piece a unique instant heirloom status. 

Carl Morenikeji, founder of Scaramanga,
said: ‘Our wooden chests and trunks were originally used as merchants’
valuables and cash storage boxes or family storage chests, so some may
have seen action on the high-seas. We haven’t found any treasure or
old maps in any yet, but we have found some old coins in some of the
secret compartments. Nowadays an old wooden chest has so many uses ranging
from keeping jewellery to storing blankets and linen; and they make
perfect memory boxes.
