For fans of what is arguably Belgium's most famous export, The Bloomsbury Store is currently stocking a wide range of Tintin merchandise including everything from figurines to posters to next year's calendars to these I heart Tintin style mugs.
The porcelain mugs are available for a variety of the well known characters naturally including Tintin but also Snowy, Haddock, Castafoire and the Thompson Twins. You can buy them individually for £7.95 or a set for £31.80.
The Indochine Rosewood Writing Chest by Starbay looks like a piece of furniture that has been handed down through generations, but is in fact brand new.
It has been based on designs from the past, so could easily pass for something inherited from a great-grandparent. One side of the chest opens out to form a desktop, and inside there are compartments and drawers to store your stationery and papers. The drawers are in a paler wood that contrasts with the rich rosewood of the chest.
It is available to buy online from Redwood Bay for £1,150.
Ok, so it may not be the most sophisticated item ever, but nothing says hippie interior so much as a String Door Curtain.
I have seen some more refined takes on this, with wooden and beaded designs, but for sheer nostalgic fun, the classic plastic string option is hard to beat. Described as a “cheerful waterfall of colour”, the curtain is 90cm wide with a 2 metre drop that can be cut to fit your doorway.
It costs £19.50 and is available to buy from Dutch by Design.
Want to turn your pad into a 60s psychedelic nightmare? You need to invest in this Down The Rabbit Hole giant wall decal.
If any of your friends suffer from vertigo or are easy freaked out, you perhaps need to think twice before you buy because this is huge and very imposing. Sized at 12ft x 10ft, it's like having a tunnel into a Bridget Riley painting – which could be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your mental state I suspect.
This custom-made vinyl creation isn't cheap at $850, but if you want impact, this has it and much, much more.

Smock style dresses have recently become something of a swear word and even a seventies cliché. That shouldn't stop those dresses who do the style well being covetable though, like this Deep V Long Dress by New York brand Adam.
The maxi version of a classic smock shape is made in silk, allowing it to create shape rather than swamping the body. In a great Ossie Clark style print, it ties in a late sixties and early seventies chic with a showing of flesh with 3/4 length sleeves and a deep v neck.

There was once a time when a lady wouldn't be seen outdoors without a hat and gloves, and while such restrictions in dress are long gone, some of the style is well worth keeping up. These Plain Leather Gloves from Marks and Spencer are the perfect pair for every occasion.
Available in an impressive nine colours, these are 100% leather in vintage-look hues. In a classic, plain style, these wrist length gloves can team with dresses on summer nights, and carry into winter wear with coats and long sleeves. All done with a demure vintage flair.
