Seafolly “Lava Lounge” Swimwear

Seafolly

Australian swimwear company, Seafolly, has a bold collection of swimwear called Lava Lounge.

The Sixties-inspired Lava Lounge print is a geometric pattern in turquoise, orange and black, that isn't for the shy retiring type. The collection consists of a tankini, halter top and a choice of plain or print pants. Prices range from £25 for the printed pants up to £50 for the tankini.

They are currently available to buy online at House of Fraser

If you are feeling the pinch in what is constantly referred to as “the current economic climate” here is proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune to create a retro look in your home. The Donato Chair may not have the status of a designer chair but it has a retro look for very little money.

It has a curved set and back upholstered in chocolate faux leather. Ordinarily it retails for a reasonable £70, but there is currently 40% off, bringing it down to £42. A birchwood version is also available for £60.

Robotduvet

Retro robots are a perennial favourite here at Retro To Go, and this Retro Robot Duvet Set joins the lists of items featuring the mechanical creations.

Tito Wooden Truck

Titotruck

Habitat has a great collection of wooden vehicles in its toy section, featuring a London bus, taxi and ice cream van, but it was the Tito Wooden Truck that particularly caught my attention with its psychedelic paintwork.

It is being described as an “Indian truck” but it reminded me of the Merry Panksters’ bus and looks the perfect vehicle for imaginary road trips. It is supplied with two people figures, who look rather like hippies too. It is designed by Dylan Preeth and costs £29.
