If you fancy a day out in the Cotswolds, try and make that day Saturday February the 2nd, 2008 – because that’s the day of the Stroud Vintage Fashion, Textile and Accessories Fair.
The Fair promises a good selection of ‘affordable’ quality vintage clothes, textiles, jewellery, books, shoes, hats, bags and accessories from the 1800s to the 1980s, with Specialist sellers coming from all over the UK and Europe.
Entry is £3 (students £2.50) and the event is held at the Stroud Subscription Rooms.
Not the first time we have featured Repetto footwear, but these Repetto BB Brigitte Bardot shoes are pretty special.
These don’t just carry the name either, Bardot (long associated with the label) had these shoes designed for her some time back, with this new version re-modelled with a theme around her lucky charms – hearts and daisy flowers – which integrates with the red and white check design.
And there’s not many of them around. Just 60 pairs have been made (to coincide with the company’s 60 years in existence), selling for 190 Euros online.
You may already be familiar with the work of Melbourne artist Gemma Jones as her pop art prints featuring Sixties girls have been on sale at Habitat for some time now. Now one of her distinctive prints is available in t-shirt form in the shape of the Cherry Starlet T-shirt, a collaboration with retro clothing designer Peta Pledger.
Similar in style to her Habitat prints, the t-shirt features the face of a girl taken from a club flyer or record cover from the 1960s. The design is enhanced with a smattering of stars. The t-shirt has been limited to a run of twenty and the XL size has already sold out.
It costs $45 (approximately £23) and can be bought from Peta Pledger on Etsy.
Looking for something special for the DJ or vinyl collector in your life? Darkcloud Silver’s Turntable Ring could fit the bill.
It’s part of a music range that also includes headphones, microphones and a record deck on a chain, but let’s concentrate on the ring. It features a choice of real vinyl or silver for the record, a moving stylus arm and a main body that’s built from sterling silver.
All handmade too, so you should get something unique. If you want one, it retails for AUS $350, which is around £153.
When that cool online radio station you occasionally tune into asks for funds, do you ever donate? For many, the answer is ‘no’ – after all, someone else will surely pick up the tab. Well, often they don’t and the stations go under. But one particularly cool station has a particularly big reason to donate – this Shag-designed Luxuria Music t-shirt.
It’s a fundraising t-shirt for Luxuria Music, a US-based station offering Surf Music, Bossa Nova, Exotica, Space-Age Bachelor Pad, Jazz, Soft-Psych, Sunshine Pop, Wall of Sound, Latin, Go-Go, and Film & TV music of the past 50 years. Something for everyone you might say. And to keep the station online, you can pick up this t-shirt in black or white and in both male and female sizes, all featuring this brand new Shag design.
It retails from $36 (£18) plus postage, but be quick as sizes are already selling through.
Stylish and safe jackets for motorbike and scooter riders are few and far between – but there’s a choice of smart designs on the Corazzo website, including the retro-styled 5.0, Bomber and Shop jackets.
