Fred Perry 60s-style silk scarf

Perry_silk

A few years ago, you could pick up a classic 60s Tootal scarf for a £1 in most charity shops. Then the scarf became fashionable again, Tootal reissued the original designs and now Fred Perry is muscling in with its own silk scarf.

Very much in the mould of the original design but with a higher quality silk finish, the scarf has a period paisley pattern on one side (along with an embroidered Fred Perry logo), while the reverse has a striped design, should you fancy a change.

If you want one round your neck this autumn, the scarf retails online for £39.

Biscuit Boutique – jewellery shaped like classic biscuits

Iced_gem

Whether you’re a fan of the bourbon, the custard cream or the pink wafer, there’s a piece of jewellery to match at the Biscuit Boutique.

Take your pick from biscuit-shaped bracelets, brooches, necklaces, rings or hairclips, although I’m personally taken by the cufflinks. particularly the Iced Gem cufflinks. Available in mixed or matching colours, all look good enough to eat – but that’s something I really wouldn’t advise.

You can pick up a pair for £8. Check out the website for more on the full jewellery range.

Clarks Originals launches the limited edition Akasha Wallabee

Akasha

A shoe I would guess you’ll either love or really hate – the Clarks Originals Akasha Wallabee.

The original Wallabee has been around since the 60s, when the company went out  to produce a ‘comfort shoe’ for every day use. It’s been selling ever since and has never been more popular. This new version capitalises on that success, but tries to appeal to fans of both Wallabees and trainers with a quilted suede finish, contrast seam and trainer-style sole.

Three colours available (berry, ebony and black), all available for a limited time from this week, price likely to be around the £80 mark.

Fred Perry M120 Made In Japan polo shirts

Fred_japan

Get the feeling the polo shirt you’re wearing  is a bit ‘rent-a-tent’? You shouldn’t have that problem with the Fred Perry M120 Made In Japan polo shirts.

It’s designed primarily for the Japanese market, but stock is available at selected retailers outside if you look around. All have the classic Fred Perry polo styling, but have a much slimmer fit, not to mention being shorter than your average polo.

Interesting colour choices too, including the pink/black and green/black above. You can pick one up for £50.
