New Compact Mirrors ... Retro, Pin-up, Tiki, tattoo ... so many designs!

By Lee Franklin

Every retro gal needs a handy little mirror for those all important checks and touch-ups through-out the day. Plus, when you add a funky design, it's a neat little way to brighten up your day! Spice up the contents of your handbag!

We've come up with some great designs (well, we think so!) that are far away from the pretty, floral images that adorn so many beauty-related products. Hopefully we've got something here for ladies who like a bit of a kick to their day, and not shy of making a few waves ... that's certainly how we roll here at Inkabilly ...

Our clam style, chrome compacts have double mirrors inside and their slim design is perfect for slipping in and out of your purse or pocket. The square compacts have an engraved back and a snap closure for that satisfying finish.

They make perfect gifts for retro ladies, lovers of pop art, skate geeks, roller girls, tiki fans ... or a cheeky little treat for you (Cos you can never have too many pocket mirrors - one for every bag!). Plus a good little mirror is a skate kit essential for any roller girl - especially after that sweaty scrim!

Our first wave of designs are now online at http://www.inkabilly.com/collections/compact-mirrors and include Retro pin-up, kitsch roller skates, pop art POW!, Tiki masks in various colours, Roller Derby deigns and fabulous flamingos which matches our fabulous flamingo bandana!

PLUS we have got our first (of many) personalised product! Our Tattoo Sacred Heart Compact Mirror has a scroll which can hold any name - the perfect Valentines Day gift! Or again, a cheeky gift for yourself ... you are, of course, the most important person in your life after all ...

Many more designs to come ...

Hang out with us on social media to get the first heads up on new designs and products ... we're on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.
