Andreas Linzner is probably best known for the toys he makes from vintage towelling (we’ve featured his giraffes a while back). This item is still using his favoured towelling material, but in a more conventional way in this men’s bathrobe.

The bathrobe does not use vintage towelling but new towelling that has been printed with a retro pattern. There is a choice of patterns available; leaf (pictured here) and ocean (which there isn’t a photograph of on the website, but I think it is safe to assume will be a blue pattern).

It costs 109.90 Euros (approximately £90) from the Andreas Linzner website.

Adidas has re-visited some of its classic trainers as part of its Consortium range, including these limited edition Forest Hills trainers.

Originally launched in 1977 as a tennis shoe, it was notable for featuring a revolutionary ventilation system that was developed in conjunction with NASA. The new version keeps that, but adds a check cloth finish, as well as soft leather trims.

Just 390 pairs worldwide and yours for £85.

Everyone seems to be designing a fashion range right now – even long-time DJ/broadcaster Gary Crowley, who has followed his mate Paul Weller by producing a footwear range – specifically the Gary Crowley Desert Boots for Ikon.

The above image probably doesn’t tell you much, but in truth, there’s only so much to say about a desert boot. Very much in the mould of your classic Clarks boot, the only difference is probably in the stitching and the ‘button’ logo on the side.

Colour options are a marked difference too – take your pick from ice, stone (in corduroy), dark brown, green or black – all retailing for £50.

Oliver Goldsmith was one of the biggest names in eyewear in the 1960s – and now the company is back – offering 1960s-style sunglasses.

Oi Polloi has a good selection of the designer shades, with our pick being the Oliver Goldsmith Fred (above top) and the Oliver Goldsmith renzo (above lower). The Fred shape is based on the Peter Sellers frame, originally created in 1964. They are hand made in Japan using Italian cotton acetate, Carl Zeiss lenses and hypoallergenic hinges, sold with a hardcase, cloth bag and box for £189.99.

The Oliver Goldsmith Renzo shape is based on the frame worn by Michael Caine in the Ipcress File, originally created in 1967. A two tone frame, again hand made in Japan using Italian cotton acetate, Carl Zeiss lenses and hypoallergenic hinges and like the Fred, sold with hardcase, cloth bag and box. A pair will cost you £174.99.
