Stuss_dm

Remember these? We featured the Stussy Deluxe x Dr Martens desert boots some weeks back, when they were due to launch in Japan. At the time, no details of a European launch were forthcoming – but now they are available in the UK.

Just the same as we first featured, these are a take on the classic desert boot, but mixing in some Air Wair soles, a premium suede finish, two sets of contrasting laces, contrast stitching and the Stussy 'S' logo on the heel.

Not cheap though, £169 is required to secure a pair.

006

A stunning piece of lighting that's available for your living room once more – the Archivio Storico 006/20 chandelier.

Originally dating back to 1933, this design classic adds a modernist twist to the classic chandelier, with 20 satin blown glass diffusers housed on that chrome-plated brass mounting. There's even a wide colour choice for your glass, everything from black to pink.

£2,887 is the asking price, which doesn't include the cost of the 20 bulbs required for it. If that's too rich, other versions are available, with steadily decreasing numbers of bulbs, right down to just one. The smallest version (for your wall) retails for £145.
