Hanitape Cassette-Shaped Wallet

Posted on | Leave a comment

There are almost as many cassette-tape related products as there are vinyl-inspired items, although I doubt somehow that the CD will be the cause of such nostalgia in years to come. The latest cassette item I’ve seen is the Hanitape, a wallet by the London based design Haniboi.

Made from recyclable silicone rubber in the shape of a cassette tape, the Hanitape fastens using magnets so that your cash and cards are kept securely inside. It is available in three bright colours (red, yellow and blue, but I think the grey version looks most like a real tape. 

Buy the Hanitape online from the Hanibol website, for £12.50

With an almost cartoonishly bright yellow leather shade, the bag has a truly mid-sixties quality that is enhanced by the simplicity of the structure. The contrasting navy tabs and uncluttered schoolbag style keep this sharp and chic.

Tapestry

Embroidery, tapestry and needlepointed fabrics were not long ago confined to the houses of our grandparents and the back room of the charity shop. Taking back the best parts of these often-forgotten design techniques, retro fashion has embraced it in pieces like this Tapestry Bag from New Look.

The classic shape of the handbag, including a clip frame and loose metallic strap, lets the intricate fabric shine against its simplicity. With a floral tapestry design, the bag has added texture along with a truly vintage look that's easy to pair with a wide variety of styles.

It's available now from New Look for a discounted price of just £9.74.

Penny Girl Dolls from Kiss Her by Bianca Hall

Posted on | Leave a comment

Penny doll
The new range from Kiss Her by Bianca Hall takes its inspiration from Penny Girl dolls. Penny dolls were small dolls made entirely from bisque, mass produced in Germany and Japan from the late 1800s up until about 1930. They were called penny dolls because that was what they usually cost in the sweet shops where they were sold.

This range reproduces images of the dolls onto homewares, initially tea towels and tote bags but soon to be available on cushions and prints too. The photographs are reproduced in bright pinks and purples or like a photographic negative giving a more contemporary look to the very old fashioned subject matter.

The price for the bags start at £8.50 while the tea towels cost £12 each.
