Diana_multi

We've featured pinhole cameras in the past, but nothing quite like the Lomo Diana Multi-Pinhole Operator camera.

This new Diana variation allows you to expose 1, 2 or 3 pinholes on one frame. Throw in some (included) colour gels and you can snap your mates with weird psychedelic effects. You can also select from three photo formats using the frame masks included in the pack and you can use it with the standard Diana accessories, including the recent Diana Instant Back+ for instant photos wherever you are.

Complete with those 60s-style looks, it's priced from just £46.90.

A property with a real 1960s feel is for sale – this Edward Hollamby-designed house in south west London, just a short walk from Brixton underground station.

It's a three-storey town house, part of a small terrace designed to 'suit' the space it was built in and having undergone a 'sympathetic' renovation eight years ago, leaving a mid-century feel to the place inside, using original features likes the open-tread staircase, a timber divider on the first floor and original doors and door furniture throughout.

Onitsuka Tiger 1970s Lawnship trainers reissued

Lawnship

With Wimbledon just around the corner, it's the perfect time for Onitsuka Tiger to re-introduce a pair of its archive tennis shoes – the Lawnship trainers.

First seen back in 1976 and designed for legendary tennis pro Ken Rosewall, they certainly have a touch of the 'Stan Smith' about them (see those perforations), but definitely have their own look, with a rounded toe, non-slip outsole and mix of leather and suede for the upper, with a dash of blue thrown in to finish things off.

Check out the website for more details (and to play a game of old school Pong). You can pick up a pair from Schuh, Size? and the Onitsuka Tiger stores in London and Liverpool.
