Please check out our “trendy” festival store on the Apprentice. Thanks to Nick for being so complementary about the shop- top man!!!
We thought the slide trolley was a good idea and in our experience a product that would be much in demand from festival goers. It probably could have done with being a little larger. The products do not actually get produced though so we do not have this in stock.
One word to describe the storage unit- rubbish!!!
As the summer music festival season approaches there are a couple of city festivals to kick us off and get us in the party mood. The Camden Crawl starts in London on the 1st-2nd May and then in Brighton there is The Great Escape on 13th-15th May. We will try and give you a few ideas on how to prepare and what to wear to make sure you look the part.
In each case, with venues all over the place you are never going to be too far from somewhere to entertain you.
If you have a few bands in mind that you want to see it is worth doing a little bit of planning to make sure you don’t miss your favourites. Print out a map of the area and mark on the venues and times that your bands are on. The queues for the more popular bands can be quite big so be prepared for a wait. Also remember to take out enough money to last you for the whole day as you won’t want to waste any extra time at the cash point.
Although it has felt like it recently, summer is not quite here yet, so be prepared for all eventualities. You can’t go wrong with a pair of Ray-Bans and a trilby hat to keep the sun off in the queue or soaking up the sun (being optimistic!) in one of the many beer gardens. It also may be worth chucking in a rain poncho or umbrella in case the weather takes a turn for the worst and you are still stuck outside!
The fashion for this season’s festival season seems to very much driven by denim and so expect to see girls in faded denim cut-offs teamed with vest tops and gladiators or a pretty floral dress with fitted denim jacket. The guys too will be sporting denim cut-offs and t-shirts with a trusted pair of Havaianas. But as with all years it’s all about the accessories, so think hats, scarves and sunglasses! Want to look different? Go vintage.
I have just dug out this clip from last year’s Glastonbury festival showing Lily Allen sporting a pair of Dark Olive Green Hunter Wellies.
The Dark Olive Green wellies have been brought back by Hunter after several years of running with just the lighter “Hunter” green. With such influential people in the world of festival fashion owning a pair then I think they will prove extremely popular this summer and probably run a close second to the the black original tall wellies.
I think anyone who owns one would agree the Musuc body shaped sleeping bag has revolutionized the sleeping bag world. Formally known as the Lippi Selk sleeping bag it is perfect for the festival season. This video gives you an idea of what it can do…
As soon as it got a little chilly at last year’s Bestival I got my sleeping bag suit on and I could still enjoy the after party around our tent without getting too cold. I even wore it to get some late night snacks from the food van!! The fact that it has protection on the feet means you can walk around with it with no worries (as long as it is not too muddy) and the zips on the arms mean that you can carry on eating and drinking to your hearts content.
The Musuc bag is available in 4 different colours priced at £79.95
Hunter have struck upon a winner with their Hunter socks. They come in a wide varity of colours and even a leopard skin and stripey design.
The great thing about these fleece welly socks is they have so many uses. Obviously they make the Hunter Original welly far more comfortable and warm in the winter or at a chilly summer night at a festival. They can also be used to keep your feet warm on a plane or even for just kicking around the house.
You cannot really go wrong at only £12.95!!
This years sensation has been the white Toywatch. This brand of watches based on a Rolex design is starting to get quite a celebrity following with Michelle Obama, Miley Cyrus, Heidi Montag, Ashley Tisdale, and Elisha Cuthbert having all been spotted wearing them. The latest celeb to get snapped is Fearne Cotton on her way home from work

There are several styles of watch including the Chrono version and the new Jelly which has a face that pops out and enables you to change the colour of your strap.
We are very pleased to have a new blog set up to keep you up to date with all the latest festival fashion and news. Marsh-mellow has a great range of products from the new short Hunter wellies to the fanstastic body shaped Musuc bags that are going to be a must have this summer.
