Very much liking this retro-styled Puma Originals Reporter II bag – and it’s under £30.
It’s a shoulder bag with vintage looks, one main compartment, an internal zipped pouch and two additional storage areas on one side. Check out the 70s-style green colour too.
Available online, you can pick one up for £29.99.
Sometimes the most simple designs can be the most effective – like this Vlaemsch Bootbag.
Designed by Saskia Marcotti, this isn’t much more than your average wellington boot – just with added holes for a handle and a splash of colour. And I’m guessing an improved lining.
You can choose from the colours above, priced at £40 each.

British designer Emma Cook is the latest name to produce a limited edition range for Fred Perry, the pick of which is this polo shirt.
It references the classic Fred Perry polo, but adds some length and a wide neck, as well as a take on the Fred Perry laurel around that neck. It retails for £80.
Also so in a range are two dresses and a particularly nasty hoodie – you can see them all on the Fred Perry site.
We featured Scandyna’s range of space age speakers some months back And if you liked the look of them, you might like the latest addition to the range – the 40th anniversary Minipod Jubilee speakers.
The 40th anniversary is for the company, not the speaker – even though the throwback design has a definite hint of the early 70s. The Minipod Jubilee is certainly a class act, limited to just 200 worldwide, each numbered and with gold-plated speaker terminals, gold spike ‘sputnik-style’ spike feet, gold Scandyna badge and Black Graphite colur scheme.
And sound-wise, they use three spheres that form one vessel to reduce distortion and vibration to produce a clearer output. The one downside is the price – a rather hefty £550.
We have featured Hans Wegner previously – with his bizarre Ox chair. This Shell Chair isn’t quite so odd, but it’s certainly quirky.
Designed three years after the Ox Chair in 1963, the Shell Chair is a three-legged affair with sloped back and ‘wing’ base that never quite took off originally, needing a relaunch in the 90s to be fully appreciated. I think that’s what you refer to as ‘ahead if its time’.
Available in ash, oak or walnut veneer, each with halingdal fabric (in your choice of colour), it will set you back £1,150.
Welcome guests into your home in style over Christmas with the Alexander Girard ‘Merry Christmas’ Door Mat.
