Adidas Munchen trainers are a Size? exclusive reissue in blue

Posted on | 1 Comment

Munch1

An exclusive landed in green a couple of weeks back and didn't hang around long, but now there's a Size? exclusive of the Adidas Munchen trainers in blue. It's likely to sell out just as quickly.

A classic from 1979, it was first introduced as a training shoe, but didn't take long to make it as a terrace classic. This Size? exclusive has an upper made from a full blue suede and nylon mesh panels featuring serrated three stripe branding and clean white laces.

Sizes are already selling through, so be quick – £59.99 gets you a pair. See another shot over the page.

eBay watch: 1970s JVC Videosphere TV in orange

Posted on | Leave a comment

Videosphere

We see a few of these around, but the 1970s JVC Videosphere TV in orange is certainly the more rare colour compared to the more typical white.

It's an iconic design and even though the TV itself doesn't really cut it in 2010, that space helmet look will remain an icon of the era for many years to come. This example is described as being in 'excellent condition' with 'nothing' missing, even down to the original antenna. It works too – see it working on the listing page if you are in doubt. The seller is even offering advice to get it working with modern-day kit, should you need help.

Price? It's on a 'buy it now' for £160, although the seller will also take an offer.

Ellesse 1970s replica ski jacket

Posted on | Leave a comment

Ellesse

Here is something just a little different for winter wear – the Ellesse 1970s replica ski jacket.

Admittedly more suitable for a skiing break (that’s what it was originally designed for), it should be pretty useful if winter kicks in hard again this year too. A limited edition collector’s piece, the jacket is an exact archive replica, with a ‘puffer’ style, ribbed collar, waist and cuffs, side pockets, warm padded insulation and of course, some eye-catching ’70s style.

If you want one, you can grab one online for £249.

Fluted Maxi Dress from ASOS

Fluteddress

Maxi dresses have become a staple on the high street over the past few years, and are now branching out in their sources of inspiration. While many provide a slightly hippy style, this Fluted Maxi Dress from ASOS taps into a sleek seventies aesthetic.

Made from a fine knit fabric, the dress is light enough for everyday wear while being luxurious enough to carry the weighty flow of seventies Winterwear. With a simple, longsleeved fit, the moss green or black shades have a hint of later beatnik chic.

Get it online from ASOS for £46.

Arflex 1970s Strips sofa set by Cini Boeri

Posted on | Leave a comment

Arflex

We rarely feature items off the Conran Shop site as their website isn't particularly 'blogger-friendly' – but they are one of the few retailers selling this Arflex Strips sofa set by Cini Boeri.

It's a design that really does scream its era, that era being the early 70s – 1972 if you want us to be precise. Cini Boeri worked with Arflex on a modular collection of sofas, ottomans and sofa-beds using polyurethane foam and that were able to fit to any space.

The sofa above is one of these designs, a large corner unit that offers both style and comfort, as well as a bold orange finish – perfect for a high-end 70s-style pad. As you might have guessed, this huge sofa isn't cheap, with an asking price of £9,485. That doesn't include the pouf either, which sells for a further £1,525.
