Not since the swinging ’60′s or the hedonistic ’90′s Britpop years has the Union Jack been so widely used. Since its rooftop reappearance on achingly cool Mini Coopers, the Union Jack has conquered fashion and our interiors in one fell swoop. You’ll now find it everywhere – from home shows to catwalks and all over the great British high street. The Union Jack cushion in particular, has become something of a cult item; and what better way to enjoy that most British of drinks – tea – in a flag-emblazoned mug?

These cool cushions make a great impression when placed against a plain sofa or beaten up leather arm chair, in the same way that fun Union Jack mugs add a touch of personality to your office or kitchen.

So what has inspired us to take the Union Jack back to our hearts? Well, it’s fair to say, the century so far has been a rocky one. So could these uncertain times have once again stoked the fires of Britannia? Ringing in the spirit of the wartime and tweezing out our patriotic pride?

Whatever the reason, we love these Union Jack printed buys.
