Sparkle

We have mentioned the sales once or twice in the last week, but there's still plenty of bargains to be had – like the Sparkle Dress at L.K. Bennett.

Not just one knee-length dress, there are a couple of colour options, both with an early to mid-60s look, offering a silk, linen and cotton construction and a geometric cut-out pattern around the neckline.

Once it was £175, now it's just £75 online in either colour.

Bodum space age-style Bistro electric kettle

Bodum

Home appliances don't often come with a retro twist. Or if they do, it's usually one inspired by the 1930s. That's not the case with the Bodum Bistro electric kettle.

This particular design is inspired by the space age era of the 60s and 70s, right down to the bold orange colour – although you can opt for one of the other five colour options if it's a bit much.

Apart from that, it's a typical electric kettle, capable of holding around half a litre of water. Oh yes – it's in the sale too, priced right now at £17.85 online.

For sale: 1950s-designed modernist Domus house in Burnley, Lancashire

Domus1

If you thought the north in the 1950s was just terraced houses, factory chimneys and whippets, you really need to see this 1950s-designed modernist Domus house in Burnley, Lancashire, one of the finest midcentury houses we've seen on the market for quite some time.

Domus was built to 'specific architectural and modernistic designs' just outside Burnley in 1958 and much of that has been maintained over 50 years on. Check out the wonderful exterior of the huge four-bedroomed property, as well as the original concrete vaulted ceilings, the open living spaces and large glass windows. Plenty to enjoy inside too.

Always worth checking out the Size? sale, although you might have to trawl through to find the right sizes and the full 50 per cent discounts. You'll need to be quick before the best stuff goes too.

Originally £54.99, it's in the sale for £29.99.

Slazenger Heritage clearance at Secret Sales

Bing

You may remember we recently featured the Slazenger Heritage 1970s 'Bing Crosby' lambswool cardigan. Well that, as well as other Slazenger Heritage items, are now in a clearance sale on the Secret Sales website.

As well as the Bing knits, there's also some lambswool v-neck jumpers, polo shirts and some jackets, all around half price. So that 'Bing' cardigan from 1977 is £39 right now. There's also a discount code on the site for a further 10 per cent off for anyone who hasn't used the site before.

Stock is likely to be limited, so you might want to get in sooner rather than later for the better items. The Slazenger stock is in the 'Men's Heritage Boutique' section and you do have to sign up (for free) if you've not viewed the site before.
