Velvet Divan Bed Base Wrap (Haddington EH41)
Crushed velvet wrap for going around the base of a double bed. It was classed as silver grey but I think it has a slight bronze shade in there too. When I used it, I had stapled it to the frame of the bed so there are some small holes (as shown in photo) at the edge.

Vacuum Storage Bags (Haddington EH41)
Vacuum Storage Bags, 6-Pack (2 Jumbo, 2 Large, 2 Medium). All bags in perfect, clean condition. I only used a couple of them to store clean towels/bedding when moving house. I don’t have the hand pump that came with them, but as a vacuum cleaner is usually used to pull the air out of the bag, hopefully that’s not a problem.
