First introduced back in 1976, the Vans Era shoe is still in production today.

Cheap too, with a pair retailing for around £35.
There are numerous variations of the Fiat 500 available – but none quite so limited as the Fiat 500 Ferrari Edition.
There’s just 200 available – and all for current Ferrari owners. Why? Well, the cars have been made for Ferrari retailers – so when you take your Ferrari in for a check-up or repair, you’ll be offered this cute Fiat as a courtesy car for the day.
it’s got a Ferrari paint job both inside and out, with the mechanics being based on the Sport version (1.4i) of the Fiat, throwing in aluminum pedals, red brake calipers, 16-inch wheels, sporty steering wheel and a few tuning and exhaust modifications. Certainly a collectors’ model of the future.

It might be warm now, but winter will soon be here – and that means knitwear. Which is where this Levi’s Vintage 1930s Button Neck Sweater comes in.
Amazingly, this was classed as ‘sportswear’ back in the day – and this repro cardigan still has the ‘Levi Strauss Sportswear’ label to prove it. Thee days, it’s just a big chunky sweater in a light grey fisherman’s hook knit and made of 100 per cent wool, finished off with five large buttons and pockets.
New in at Oki-Ni, you can pick it up for £129.
Few designs are as distinctive as the humble Polo mint – it’s been around since 1948. Which makes this Mint stool something of an instant design classic.

If you want one in your home, get in touch with the designer – he’ll sell you one for £245.
