World renowned accessory designer Lulu Guinness, OBE and electrical specialist Comet, have teamed up to create a limited edition toaster, to add a touch of glamour to one of the most quintessentially British gadgets.
The Autumn/Winter 2009 collaboration features one of Lulu’s iconic lip designs, with red and cream lips on a black background.
Inspired by 1950’s glamour and the classic shade of red lipstick seen in old Hollywood movies, Lulu’s most famous design is the iconic Lips Clutch carried by celebrities from Katy Perry to Sophie Ellis Bextor and Lauren Laverne.
The lips design now gracing this unique toaster, will make a statement in any kitchen and appeal to fashionistas all over the UK.
With Lulu Guinness celebrating 20 years of iconic British design in 2009, she was the ideal choice to partner with Comet and give one of the nation’s most-used gadgets a makeover in its 90th year.
Comet’s Head of Marketing, Bill Moir, said: “We wanted to create an affordable, designer item for the kitchen and we know that Brits love their toast.
Working with Lulu Guinness has brought originality to the toaster and with such an iconic design it’s set to be a must have item for our style conscious customers.â€
Lulu Guinness added: “I am delighted to team up with Comet on this project and thrilled with the design; this is the first time I’ve designed something for the kitchen and I am excited to think of the toaster sitting in people’s homes, adding a bit of fun and glamour to their everyday activities.â€
The limited edition Lulu Guinness for Comet toaster will be available to buy at www.comet.co.uk/luluguinnesstoaster, from 5th November and in selected Comet stores from 13th November, priced at £34.99, just in time for Christmas.
