If you liked the Vintage Star Wars Print Tote Bag mentioned yesterday, then you may also be interested in this Star War T-Shirt from Topshop.
It features a retro Japanese Star Wars print that has that worn in look about it. It is printed on a crew-neck cap-sleeved t-shirt.
I’m not altogether convinced by the pale pink colour of the t-shirt but that is a minor detail.
It costs £18 and can be bought from the Topshop website.
We featured Heirloom furniture some time back, but at the time it wasn’t available. It is now.
If you missed out original article, Heirloom is mid-century style furniture for children, built to last through generations of your family. We have highlighted the Ellinor rocking chair before, but also in the collection and available to order is this stylish Nora table.
Unmistakably Scandinavian and inspired by furniture from the 50s and 60s, it is handmade, at ‘child height’ and with a choice of walnut, oak or birch finishes – all with a large surface area and rack underneath. The table retails for £369.40, with the rocking chair now confirmed at £742.

Most modernist designs seem to sacrifice comfort for sleek lines – not the Sant’Elia leather armchair.
Designed by Giuseppe Terragani in 1936 and available again via Zanotta, this is a mix of stylish design and soft seating, with the stainless steel tubular frame providing the modernist lines, while a generously upholstered seat, back and arms (in leather) means this is a chair you’ll not want to leave.
Not cheap at £1,699 – but if you have the money, hard to beat for looks.

We are forever featuring mugs and cups to drink from, but what about somewhere to store your tea and coffee? This set of Retro Tea, Coffee and Sugar Tins could be the storage solution you need.
They are produced by Disaster Designs and whilst they are new product, rather than a genuine vintage set, they do look to be based on sets from the 1960s or 1970s. In fact, I’m pretty sure we had a set just like this back in the mid-seventies.
They are available to buy on the Iggloo website and cost £20 for a set of three jars.
Dupenny make tote bags made from vintage fabric. The current selection includes several made from retro floral material, but it was this Vintage Star Wars Print Tote Bag that particularly caught my attention.
It is made from fabric printed with cartoon incarnations of Star Wars characters. As they are handmade from vintage fabric, they can not guarantee that each bag will look exactly like the one picture so you may get more R2-D2 than Han Solo!
It is backed with cotton canvas for extra durability and has a navy materials reverse and matching handles.
It costs £18 and is available to buy from Dupenny through the Not on the High Street website.
New summer collections on the high street means mini dresses are currently ten-a-penny again. If you’re looking for an authentic retro style then look no further than French Connection.
