New on the shelves
Latest kit, including some great new MINI merchandise
FOR a fashion-led brand like MINI, a collection of clothing, luggage and other accessories is almost essential to let owners co-ordinate their cars with the rest of their lives. The new MINI Lifestyle collection, launched at the recent Paris Motor Show and on sale next month, aims to do just that. There are over 50 items for men, women and children.
There’s a range of vibrant-coloured T-shirts, sweatshirts and jackets carrying the latest MINI logo. It’s all based round the brand’s Colour Block design language, and will help you stand out in a crowd.
You could fill up your Cooper’s boot with Mini-branded luggage, too; Duffle, Overnight and Weekender bags join a full-sized suitcase. There’s also a branded phone case, a blanket and an umbrella.
On top of that, accessories include a MINI Watch with switchable colour wristbands, while branded sunglasses use biodegradable materials. Younger MINI fans can play with a colouring set, complete with pencils, plus craft sets allow children to create items using household waste packaging. For little ones desperate to get wheels of their own, there are Mini-branded balance bikes and tricycles.
You can drink tea the MINI way with a teapot and matching cups for the home, or by using a travel flask and mug that fits a MINI cup-holder.
Some items in the Lifestyle Collection will be sold at MINI dealers, with the full range online. Prices will be revealed at launch in November.
