Silk festival of britain cushion
Just last week we featured the Minimoderns festival rug, now here's another object inspired by the same event – this silk Festival of Britain from RE. 

It's the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain which is being celebrated this year. This design is inspired by a vintage silk scarf and shows a suitably jubliant city scene. The scarf is backed with a contrasting silk fabric to complete the vintage feel.  

The cushion costs £55.

Rose Tote Bag from Barbour

Bag
In terms of things quintessentially British, Barbour are right up there with bulldogs and afternoon tea. The brand has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity recently and have started to go beyond the wax jackets that made them synonymous with the great outdoors. 

The Rose Tote Bag is a great example of the sort of quality you'd expect from Barbour with a vintage feminine twist. The tan leather accents surround a decidedly summery liberty rose print in very practical wipe-clean PVC, ensuring it won't ruin when you're trudging around the Lake District whatever the summer weather may bring.

The Rose Tote is £129.95 from Barbour. See the website for more details.

Lo-Fi – retro photo effect application for your PC and Mac

Posted on | Leave a comment

Lofi

Recently, we featured an article on the best vintage camera apps for the iPhone. But what about photos you've already taken on a camera? Well, now there's Lo-Fi.

It follows a similar principle to the mobile apps, but operates on your PC or Mac to offer retro effects for existing photos. You can mix a wide range of effects from the film world, such as grain, colourful cross processing, lens blur, light leaks and frames. Combine more than one to create something unique. You can even hit a button for random effects, if you can't be bothered tweaking.

Along with editing, there's also easy sharing via Flickr and Facebook and if you want to try it out, there's also the option to try for free. If you like, the full download sells for $29.
