As a symbol of 1950s Americana, the bowling alley is up there with the diner, and this Retro Bowling Sign Canvas captures that spirit.
Measuring 16 inches squared, the canvas features an image of a bowling alley neon sign. There are also similar designs featuring other iconic signs such as a motel, barr and of course, a diner.
The canvas costs $79.99 (around £50) from Target.
The Ellan Doran Loves 38 Bag is part of the designer’s collection for the London Transport Museum that pays tribute to everyone’s favourite bus, the Routemaster.
The design is a close up of the logo which adorned the 38 route, a route known as the “Love Bus”. Measuring 38cm x 40cm, the shopper is made from 100% unbleached cotton.
The bag costs £9.99 from the London Transport Museum shop.
Clutch style bags have been reinvented throughout most mainstream fashion movements of the twentieth century, but this version from ASOS has a definite eighties feel.
As the 1980s was something of a magpie decade, it takes its beginnings from a high glam fifties look, with Hollywood sparkle and simplistic lines. It has some added eighties touches thanks to a slouched shape and the post-seventies colour palette.

The end of the summer season means many of the best dresses of the year are now going on sale, so it's a perfect opportunity to stock up on retro wardrobe fillers. This Silk Maxi Dress by Electricity is a great piece of seventies folk style.
Handmade in Manchester, the dress features a vintage look paisley print that doesn't suffer from looking clichéd thanks to a subtle colour palette. The feminine neckline and figure flattering cut mean this doesn't swamp the figure, and provides the perfect late hippy style that's easy to wear.

We have featured Skate Study House previously, a company that mixes a love of skateboarding with a love of Eames and related mid-century design. The result? Handmade Eames-style classics made from skateboard parts, like the Launch of the Cool collection.
This is the affordable range from Skate Study House (compared to the Lounge Chair, which retailed for well in excess of £2,000), three design gems available for a combined price of $300. The products are the Astro Clock, a take on the 1948 George Nelson Ball Clock, the Hang Up (a take on the Eames' 1953 Hang It All) and the Nova Lamp, a take on…well, we're not sure on this one, can you spot what it takes off?
All are made to order, using recycled decks and parts plus some custom bits and pieces, guaranteeing you something unique in your home. If you don't want all of them, individual prices are $100 for the Astro, $100 for the Hang Up and $150 for the lamp. We suspect they'll not be around for long, so move quickly if you want them. And check out an image of the Hang Up over the page.

You can pre-order now for October delivery, pricec at £55.
