Tatty Devine 3-D Glasses Accessories

83denamelclIn the 1950s 3-D was hailed as the future of cinema, but the initial enthusiasm for the medium was not sustained and these days it is very much seen as a gimmick or relic of the past.

Always one for bizarre designs, Tatty Devine currently have a whole range paying tribute to the 3-D Glasses required to view the 3-D films. The 3-D Glasses Range includes various styles of necklace, a badge, earrings and for men, these cufflinks, each featuring the famous one green and one red lenses.

Prices range from £17 for the brooch up to £35 for the large necklace. In most of the piece, the lenses are purely decorative, but in the large necklace it apparently does work if you hold it up to your eyes!

Ethical fashion with retro style from Adili

1

For those of you who admirably have a vested interest in exactly where your belongings come from, you’ll know the tribulations of buying ethical fashion. Either it costs a packet or it looks… well… a bit rubbish really.

Thankfully the online shop Adili has brought together a whole rake of designers who make fairly traded and ethically made clothing and accessories. And they’re hugely wearable too. This Agate Babydoll dress is by Alchem1st and is a great 60s inspired summer choice.

Designed and made in Bali, this is one of the more expensive pieces on the site at £115, but with a free conscience too it’s worth that price.
