The first one was brought to our attention by alert reader Ann Wagner. A tote bag with an illustration by Victoria Roberts. Look at the three Brontë cats on the right hand corner or look here for a better picture.

And now for the good causes. The Telegraph lists the following cushion designed by Sam Taylor-Wood inspired by her Ghosts series:

Giving comfort
This cushion was designed by the artist Sam Taylor-Wood for the Rug Company to raise money for Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. The pattern is from a photograph in Taylor-Wood’s Ghosts series, based on Wuthering Heights. The cushion costs £495, 50 per cent of which goes to the charity, from the Rug Company (020-7229 5148; therugcompany.info).
