Lovingly handmade in Cornwall, this one-of-a-kind Large Backpack is made using repurposed Royal Mail fabric trolley sleeves* by small supplier, Flotsam Flo. This range is sold exclusively through The Postal Museum.

Flotsam Flo transforms waste materials that cannot easily be recycled into unique handmade accessories. These include materials such as life jackets, banners, thinner wetsuits, hot tub lids and inflatables. Without repurposing, these materials would often end up in incineration or, in some areas, landfill.

These bags make excellent gifts for the Eco conscious to postal lovers.

Product description from their website:

The SX-70 is the archetypal Polaroid camera and was the first to use integral film which needed no input from the user, just press the shutter, eject the film and watch it develop. This design classic is a folding single lens reflex (SLR) camera that fits almost anywhere. It was revolutionary in its time and still impresses today.

This is a vintage restored Model One first released in 1972 in the classic chrome with original tan leather finish or black.

Modified to use Polaroid 600 film.

This modification upgrade allows your SX-70 to shoot Polaroid 600 film instead of SX-70 film. There are two reasons why many people enjoy this upgrade: (1) 600 film (600 ISO) is significantly "faster" than SX-70 film (160 ISO) and allows more versatile performance in lower-light settings, (2) 600 film is much easier to find and is carried by most camera shops and department stores while SX-70 film can usually only be sourced from specialty shops. Please note that this modification requires the soldering of a new capacitor to your camera's motherboard and is a permanent modification: this SX-70 camera is only be capable of shooting 600 films. 

SX-70's have been completely restored by Brooklyn Film Camera, are fitted with fresh new leather coverings, and come with a 1-year warranty.

This delicate pendant is modelled on an engraved piece of copper from a parent who brought their child for care at the Foundling Hospital. It was separated from the child's records in the 1860s, so no information is available about who the token was connected to.

• Rhodium-plated sterling silver necklace. Rhodium plating is hypoallergenic and prevents tarnish for longer.
• Chain length: 42 cm (16.5 inches)

Specially made by Ingrid Rossi for the Foundling Museum.
