Jocelyn Proust handpainted tiles

Proust set-of-3-blue-flower-tiles

Jocelyn Proust's handpainted tiles have a distinctive 1970s feel. The floral designs above are typical of her bright and colourful work which also features more naturally inspired patterns including leaves and birds. 

These tiles measure 100 x 200mm each and are ready mounted for display with a hanging on the back of each one. Jocelyn is based in Australia so each tile costs $30 AUD but you'll need to add shipping onto that.

London Vintage book by Editions Paumes

Londonvintage

We like Bodie & Fou, it digs up some real leftfield gems when it comes to art and design. But this time, the retailer has a rather interesting book – London Vintage by Editions Paumes.

Described as 'the ultimate guide to the capital’s most sought after antique, vintage and second-hand addresses', it claims to offer some 'best-kept secret' vintage shops, everything from antiques, architectural salvage and homeware through to fashion and accessories over 128 boldly-coloured pages.

Downside? Well, Editions Paumes is a Japanese publisher, so the key details are in English, the images are universal, but the detail is in the Japanese language. If you can live with that, you can bag this gem for £20.

‘Vintage…and more’ fashion fair 27 September

Vintage_Fashion_London

Another new London vintage fair event for the calendar, the 'Vintage..and more' fashion fair which is being held at the Byam Shaw College of Art, N19, this Sunday 27 September.

As well as the typical array of vintage clothing stalls, the '…and more' bit of the title refers to the fact they'll also be selling customised items of clothing and will be featuring makers who create new designs from vintage fabric. Because of this, they are promising a larger-than-usual selection of clothes for men and kids. There will also be a section devoted entirely to haberdashery. 

The fair runs from between 11am and 5pm. Entrance costs just £3 (or £2 for students) but the bargain hunting starts early as there's the opportunity to request free entrance tickets on their website.

Denim Quilted Shopper from Miss Selfridge

Shopper

Ever since Chanel created their iconic quilted handbag in 1955, similar creations have been everywhere. However, when done subtly, these bags can have a timeless chic that never goes out of style.

This Blue Denim Quilted Shopper from Dorothy Perkins is a departure from the original, thanks to its large size and shape, but stays a true ode thanks to the quilting and the gilted straps. The navy blue shade is a great finishing touch, keeping this classic in styling and adding an extra luxury feel above simple black.

Get it now from Dorothy Perkins for £25.
