Not an obvious reissue, but the Puma TT Super CC trainers are back on the shelves, in their original white and black colourway.
TT stands for tassel tennis, with these shoes designed for that particular sport back in 1980. In 2011, they're back with a mesh and suede upper, as well as much the same silhouette and in a limited edition.
£49 is the price.

While the Winter months draw to a close, there's still a chill in the air for most of us through Spring. That's good enough excuse to indulge in some snug outerwear shopping, with this Wool Cape from American Apparel providing the perfect option.
The cape's structure has an instantly sixties feel, with a wide a-line shape and high collar. In a rich navy wool fabric, it's reminiscent of The Beatles' classic Help capes. The cape's androgyny lends itself well to a mid-sixties aesthetic with a short mid-thigh hemline that can create daring femininity.

Retrouvius architectural salvage have a limited number of these rather attractive Tubular Framed Chairs left from last years London Design Festival.
The festival was held at the V&A museum and Retrouvius were asked to design the Exhibition Road entrance space – they incorporated these chairs which were part of a cafe area.
The chairs have woodens seats and backs contrasting with bright metal tubular frames.They also have a built in desk, handy for resting your cup of tea and slice of cake on.
They cost £70 + VAT – check them out here.
Wood lettering making proclamations of “Home”, “Eat” or “Love” are pretty common, but this is the first Tiki Lounge Sign I’ve seen.
It has been created by Etsy seller, Studio 724 using baltic birch, which has been distressed and given a blue finish, adding to its vintage look. It would look good hung above your home bar next to your Shag print. There is also a diner sign in a similar style. It costs around £30 plus extra for shipping, prices of which the seller will provide if you ask.

The Retro Kitchen print is another print by Patrick Edgeley, whose retro-influenced work we’ve mentioned previously.
This one has a decidedly mid-century feel to it, featuring coffeepots, teacups, bowls and canisters decorated with florals and leaf patterns that you would see on enamelware by Catherineholm. Needless to say, it would be great to hang in your kitchen.
The print measures 50cm by 70cm and costs £60 from Box Bird.
Some time back, we highlighted the Lundby midcentury-style dolls houses and furniture, examples of which can often be found on eBay. But here's something that's much harder to find – a 1930s Triangtois art deco dolls house.
It's up for auction at Boldon Auction Galleries, which is in the Newcastle area. Don't worry – you can absentee bid if you want it and don't happen to be local. We suspect fans of art deco housing just might, a superb period miniature house with plenty of detail, right down to fireplaces and light fittings.
Yes, it needs a bit of work, but with a guide price of between £50 and £80, it's not a lot for something we suspect is incredibly rare. See the interior over the page, with the auction taking pace on 16th March 2011.
