Perfect for a weekend away, the Fred Perry retro-style Inflight Bag offers vintage-style looks and plenty of functionality.
That includes a choice of lightweight canvas or leather-like finish (see over the page for a picture of that version), two zipped compartments, contrast detailing, carry handles and detachable shoulder straps plus plenty of room for personal tech like a laptop or MP3 player as well as your weekend essentials.
Available now, it's priced at £65 for either version.
There are still bargains to be found on eBay if you put the time in searching – like this iGuzzini 1970s space age table lamp.
A quirky piece of Italian design from 30 or so years back, the iGuzzini (or Guzzini) lamp offers up a shade consisting of four plastic layers and a black rim, which is sat on a lacquered white rod stem and what's described as a 'cast iron' base with white grooved plastic cover. And for some added authenticity, the original 'Harveiluce, iGuzzini, made in Italy' sticker is still present.
Not high-end design, but very much of the era and right now, selling for just 99 pence. That's right – an absolute steal.
If you've got a soft spot for 80s kids TV, you just might be the kind of person who will love Supergran, which heads to DVD for the first time next month.
For the uninitiated, Supergran first hit our screens back in 1985, the tale of Granny Smith (Gudrun Ure), a sweet old lady living a sedate life in the Scottish coastal town of Chisleton. That's until she is accidentally struck by a stray beam from Inventor Black’s magic ray machine and transformed into 'Supergran', using her powers against Chisleton’s local villain, The Scunner Campbell, and his unpleasant cohorts, Dustin and Muscles.
Alongside regular cast members Iain Cuthbertson and Bill Shine, Supergran also features guest appearances from the likes of George Best, Lulu, Spike Milligan, Patrick Troughton, Charles Hawtrey and Geoff Capes, with a theme tune by Billy Connolly thrown in for good measure. Series one hits the stores on 10th August 2009, covering two discs and selling officially for £19.99 (although Amazon has already marked it down to £12.98 for pre-orders).
Not content with producing a whole range of Disneyland-related art and design, Shag is still producing limited edition prints covering the usual subject matter, with La Grande Odalisque on sale from today.
La Grande Odalisque is classic Shag with a slightly risque twist, the 60s-styled girl, the tiki and the mid-century furnishings all present and correct. In terms of specifics, this is a 15-colour serigraph, signed and numbered in an edition of 200 and sized at 14 x 20 inches.

A 1950s lighting classic is back in 2009 – but don't expect to be picking up the Louis Poulsen Ph Louvre suspension light for a post-war price.
Its a stunning light fitting, designed back in 1957 by Poul Henningsen for the Adventist Church in Skodsborg, Denmark. Clever stuff too – the Ph Louvre is a glare-free light, with all 13 shades (mounted on 4 legs) offering up light at exactly the same angle, creating what's described as 'optimal, even illumination'.
Stylish looks, clever design – you just know it's going to be pricey. And it is. The reissue of the Ph Louvre suspension light is yours for £3,864. Saying that, this is a timeless classic – possibly the only light you'll ever need to buy for your living room.
Two vintage labels have got together to rework a vintage classic – Fred Perry x Tootal scarves.
On the face of it, these are nothing more than another reissue of the classic Tootal scarf, double-sided with typical retro designs including a polka dot and paisley, with the usual tassled finish. Except these also feature the Fred Perry detailing (notably the laurel) on that silk and wool mix and if you're a collector of such stuff, are only avaialble in very limited numbers.
The price? £40 each. See over the page for another of the designs.
