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.

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.

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.

This is an exclusive range, so you’ll have to pick up this Habitat x Scion retro outdoor seating at your local Habitat outlet.

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 ‘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.
