To celebrate their 50th birthday, Chupa Chups have just launched a range of limited edition retro bags and purses. With 5 billion Chupa Chups being slurped into oblivion every year across 160 countries, the sugary teeth-rotting treats have certainly stayed popular amongst kids and clubbers alike.
Featuring the iconic daisy logo designed by Salvador Dali in the late sixties, juicy 70s-style colours recreate the original four flavours of the lollipops: orange, strawberry, cola and chocolate and vanilla. Products in the collection include a shoulder bag, hand held bowling bag and round utility bag, all made from strong modern fabrics that look like they could easily withstand the damage of even our heaviest nights out.
Although far from chic, understated or grown-up, they definitely have a charm if you like your handbags bright and kitsch. Perfect for a date at an old-school diner or any equally retro activity, they're attention grabbing and practical all at once, and as sweet as the lollipops they're inspired by.
