Top 5: weirdest things you can buy in Pete Doherty’s shop

It's been in the news all week after rumours of fag butts for sale as smoked by the likes of Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss. So we popped down to sniff out the five oddest things lurking in Doherty Martin & Co's Rag and Bone Collection in Camden Stables Market

Following in the footsteps of Prince, Bowie and Boy George, this week saw the launch of wayward Babyshambles star Pete Doherty’s new (pop-up?) shop in Camden Town. If you’re a fan, this could be the chance you’ve been waiting for to pick up anything from eyewear to chandeliers, clothing to posters. But I wanted to take a look at some of the, um, more random bits ‘n’ pieces.

5. Message in a bottle: £100

I asked if I could have a read of the rolled up bits of paper stuffed in the grubby glass bottles. “Nope!” said Suzi, the Martin half of the enterprise – and queen of the excellent Torriano, lest we forget – but she did hint that they were scrawled with his “musings” and “thoughts of the day”. The only word I could decipher was “I was…” I was what, Pete? You’d better not be fobbing us off with a fridge note or shopping list, you rascal.

Next: who makes Pete LOL?
