A stylish and unique handbag crafted by Matt Fothergill using Routemaster moquette fabric with a leather trim. This bag is a modern interpretation of the gibson ticket machine cash bag which was ubiquitous on London's iconic Routemaster in the 1950s and 1960s. Moquette is a particularly versatile and hard wearing material.
The tartan style fabric was designed by Douglas Scott, who was responsible for the interior and exterior styling of the Routemaster bus. The pattern features horizontal bands of maroon, brown and light green pile interspersed with vertical lines of yellow loop pile. It was designed specifically to echo the interior colour scheme of the vehicle: yellow ceilings, red lower sides and green seat backs.
It measures approximately 27 x 23 cms.
