Its probably going to be delicious.

Lushlobes

Back in the day - before designs were Lush, we used to make "jewellery".



We were called Lushlobes, but this one's for your Lush lapel.
See the fish, the cross, both holy symbols of Jesu.
On the other hand it could equally be worn by piscean heathens who devote themselves to the much maligned science of astrology. Obviously they'd have to have a bloody big velvet cloak though because if I remember rightly it was about five inches across.

Carnival Time

Another bit of Lush Designs history for you,

Its that time of year when the thoughts of the wild and crazy folk turn to CARNIVAL.
There's the extravagant Mas of Trinidad, the opulent sexuality of Rio De Janeiro, the toilet queues of Notting Hill...

and there's Deptford..

At one time in our long and windin' career we designed children for carnival use. This archive photograph was taken around 1992.

Note the purple socks. we were famous for that.
