Something a little different but very eye-catching for your walls – this Cotton Club jazz-inspired wallpaper by Mind The Gap. I haven’t featured enough wallpapers of late, perhaps because not too many have really jumped out at me. There are only so many 1970s swirls you can see before the novelty wears off.
Back in time with the Adidas OG Airliner bag

Love an Adidas archive design, which is pretty much what you have with this reissued Adidas OG Airliner bag. You can still buy standard Airliner bags, which change year on year but maintain a classic Adidas look. A couple of colours are in the Adidas range right now, but this one winds back the clock a bit more.
Pro-Ject unveils Charlie Brown-themed Peanuts T1 BT turntable

Limited numbers of course, so make sure you are quick on this Pro-Ject Charlie Brown-themed Peanuts T1 BT turntable. It seems like an odd combination, but this is a mix that has been pursued in the past. I still regret not buying the Peanuts x Crosley Cruiser record player, which was off the scale for cuteness.

The Lego Art collection has gone all ’80s graffiti with the launch of the Keith Haring Dancing Figures Lego set. You might recall me mentioning the Robert Indiana’s Love Lego set a couple of months back. That proved really popular. Because, like this set, it works on different levels.

Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. Not to be confused with the 1967 jacket, the Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1961 Type III denim jacket is back on the shelves. The 1967 incarnation of the iconic Levi’s jacket is the more commonly seen – although it hasn’t been seen as much of late in the Levi’s range. The 1961 version isn’t massively different in terms of overall design.

One of my favourite retro audio systems has just got even more retro, courtesy of the Tivoli Audio Model One 70s Colour Collection. It’s possibly not the most 21st-century of modern-era audio systems, but it has many features that make it perfect for any retro home—and with the new colours, even more so.
Smart Now Playing Vinyl Record Stand by Petru

Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. You don’t have to be a vinyl nerd to appreciate the Smart Now Playing Vinyl Record Stand by Petru. But it helps. On the face of it, this is the kind of technology you don’t really need in your life. But if you love your vinyl and like the idea of seeing a graphic representation of every beat, then this is for you.
Adidas 1969 Superstar Vintage trainers

Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. Another homage to the mid-20th century, the Adidas 1969 Superstar Vintage trainers take us back to where this style began. I think people tend to associate this style with a later era, probably nearer the mid-1970s. But the Adidas Superstar was first seen in 1969, looking a little different to the ‘classic’ design we think of today.

Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. This is an exclusive range, so you’ll have to pick up this Habitat x Scion retro outdoor seating at your local Habitat outlet. You can also pick it up online and have it delivered rather than carrying it from your local Argos, which will also be selling these designs, along with some branches of Sainsbury’s.
