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.

Another ‘suitcase’ turntable, but the Mixx Revival 65 record player offers something a little different from the usual suspects. But the look is very familiar at first glance—a portable player of the kind that’s very popular these days. Just have a look around; there are loads of them.
Giovanni Guzzini-style table lamp at Soho Home

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. It looks like a lost classic of the 1970s. This is pretty much the selling point of this Giovanni Guzzini-style table lamp at Soho Home. I say Guzzini in style because this lamp looks very similar to a design I own and love. It’s also one I have featured on this site in the past, as originals go for big money these days.

Nothing transforms a home like statement lighting. And this 1970s-style hanging lamp cluster at La Redoute is such a thing. I do love La Redoute. Essentially a high-street retailer (despite being online), it has a habit of producing some amazing retro designs across its range – many of which are featured on these pages.

Want to look like one of the Fab Four? Maybe invest in one of The Beatles-inspired shirts at 66 Clothing. Okay, it might take a bit more than that. But if you are a fan of the band, then you might want to take a closer look at these shirts, based on a couple of designs worn by the band in the mid- to late 1960s.

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 just a good-looking retro design, these 1960s mountaineering smocks by Wolf Vintage Clothing are also pretty cheap. But there’s another selling point to this design too, which you can probably work out from a glance down the page. Yes, plenty of colours to choose from. Hopefully, one will catch your eye.
Old school vibes with the Casio G-Shock x Pac-Man watch

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. It is sold out in many places, but I have found somewhere that still has the Casio G-Shock x Pac-Man watch. Sold out because everyone loves an old-school Casio, especially when it’s only available in small numbers. It’s the watch of nostalgia—many of us had a Casio at school.

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. Going for a 1970s vibe? You need this Rosita Commander space age audio system on eBay in your living room. This was the future once upon a time, but now it’s a statement of a bygone era. Yet despite that, the Rosita Commander still looks more advanced than anything you would see on the market today.
1960s Adidas Tokyo trainers return in white leather

1 month ago | retrotogo.com | David Walker

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. They landed in suede a couple of weeks back, but the 1960s Adidas Tokyo trainers return in white leather is the big one for me. Not that I have anything against the suede issue/reissue. It’s pretty much the same design as the one you see here. Except that it is leather. Which looks better and is far more suited to the time of year.

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. If it’s anywhere near as good as his last works, the Mid-Century Modern Designers book by Dominic Bradbury will be an essential purchase. Those past books include Mid-Century Modern Furniture, Mid-Century Modern Complete, and The Atlas of Mid-Century Modern Houses, to name just a few.
