British Rail Engine Drivers Smokey Moquette Washbag

How’s this for a quirky moquette? Peer into a train driver’s cab of yesteryear and you might just spot this. Smokey was the moquette of choice for train drivers’ seats and was introduced in the 1970s. Because of its location, where other moquettes in passenger areas may well have been refreshed or replaced, drivers were treated to fewer upgrades, so you may still spot this design on preserved railways. Smokey remains a perfect gift for former or retiring drivers, who will have fond memories of this design. 

There’s no escaping moquette in some houses - there’s even some in the bathroom. Our washbags are unbelievably stylish and give bath time an air of nostalgia. Measuring 20cm x 10cm x 10cm and available in a range of popular moquettes, they are great for your essentials at home or while on a getaway railway trip. Waterproof inner and a robust zip make them long-lasting too.
