Vintage-style French mirror at Pedlars

Vintage style mirror

Add a touch of French class with this vintage-style mirror for sale at Pedlars. It's suitably distressed looking so you can pretend you found it at a Parisian flea market. The words 'Savon' and 'Amélie' run across the image in a decorative script. The savon makes sense, but I'm not sure if every time I look in the mirror I need to be reminded that I don't look like Audrey Tautou! 

At £34, it's a cheap and chic way to create a boudoir look.

Biba Chair

F9701c


The Biba Chair takes its name from the legendary fashion store, and as you would expect its design invokes a retro style like its namesake. T


he chair is a low armchair with a striking circular shape and a chrome base. It is upholstered in faux suede, which I’m not entirely convinced by, which is available in a choice of brown, red, duck egg blue, lime green or probably the best option, cream.


Funky Lifestyles is selling the Biba Chair for £545.

Jukebox wall sticker

Juke_box

If you no longer buy vinyl or can't afford the actual thing, you can attempt to capture the cool of an actual jukebox with this jukebox wall sticker. It's a very simplified outline of a Wurlitzer (with the company logo being replaced by the word 'juke box') in mono colour. 

The sticker is made to order by a French company and comes in over 30 colours and, though much cheaper than an original model, is hardly a budget model. The smallest version for sale (150cm by 89cm) costs £98 while the largest version, at double that height, costs an additional £167,
