Wee find: Colporter

Colporter is a new London-based online interiors shop, specialising in vintage items such as Routemaster bus blinds, suitcases, trunks, school maps, antlers, advertisements and European shop signs.

I love the Hungarian grain sacks, which can be stuffed with fillers to make rather lovely bench cushions, as well as the framed Routemaster bus blinds, which start at £125 (I've seen them elsewhere for over £200).

A wee birdy told me that Colporter are currently looking for London premises to open up a real bricks and mortar shop. Exciting news, indeed, considering their competitively priced stock.

ooh that is a great price for the bus stuff- which I covet... very much. They sound ace- will pop over and have a look with morning tea x

Love it!

I have had a look at the website, it is everything that I love. At the moment I would be especially tempted by one of the old suitcases. The prices are very reasonable, I have seen similar things on other sites costing a lot more.

To be honest a friend of mine bought a framed bus sign from them. The quality in my opinion was poor and the frame scratches very easily. I think that's why they charge less, the framing isn't really up to scratch. I was going to buy one too until I saw hers! Instead I bought one a couple of weeks ago online from Rockett St George....stunning! They offered me swept frames too which I thought looked great and was different. I didn't get one in the end as I thought it may be too big.

I am from Colporter, I am disappointed with Sophie's comment.

We have not had any complaints, save for one blind scratched in postage which I gave the buyer a discount for the inconvenience.

Perhaps your friend can contact me if she has any problems.

Thanks Catherine
