The Pinch website suggests it could be used in a hallway or in a bay window. I hadn’t considered I needed a sofa in either of those spaces until now, but now I’ve seen it, I know I won’t feel satisfied until I do! I had better start counting my pennies however, as the sofa costs £2295.

The idea is to produce a well-made, vintage-style city bike without it costing a fortune, which is what you get with the Broncks above. Available with a black or raw finish, the bike offers a Dutch-style designwith classic sprung leather saddle, cork handles, chain guard, fenders, kick stand, rear rack and that eye-catching wooden crate for carrying your bits and pieces.
The bike is produced in New York City using eco-friendly parts and techniques (including solar energy in the factory), selling for $595 (around £359). Check out over the page for an image of the other cycle in the current range, the Breukelen.

Jaeger London may have made their biggest waves with high powered 80s fashion, but they've come past this dated workwear look to make luxurious pieces with broad retro influence. This Wing Collar Cropped Tux is a great example of their fashion forward pieces' vintage inspiration.
While twenties and thirties fashion is usually flapper dresses, this jacket's art deco influence is a great non-literal interpretation of pre-war design. Straight, striking linear patterns combine with a rich light mink shade to great effect. The end result is a luxurious statement piece that could become a classic.

Not just a name, the Axcent Tank LED watch is built like an armoured vehicle too.
Designed by Daniel Jakobsson, the Tank is also built like a 1970s digital timepiece too, that retro-style LED display peaking out from that chunk of stainless steel on your wrist, available with a natural finish or in gold if you want some added bling, both with a mineral glass screen and water resistance to three metres.
Watchismo sells the Axcent of Scandinavia watch range, with both of the above available for $139 or £84 if you prefer.
