Adidas retro-styled Woven Diamond airline bag and holdall

Adibag1

Two classic shapes have had a makeover for the new season, but both the Adidas Woven Diamond airline bag and holdall keep their retro looks and appeal.

Not least, that's down to the retro colourways of beige and brown, along with vintage leather detailing, diamond stitch canvas and of course, the logo itself. The airline bag has a large compartment and zipped front pocket, while the holdall (which is pictured over the page) has a large storage area and that oversized logo on the side.

Prices from £59.

Marshall amplifier headphones by Zound Industries

Marshall-headphones

The iconic Marshall amplifier has been around since the mid-1960s, largely unchanged in looks, making it something of a music icon. Which is why these Marshall amplifier headphones by Zound Industries are so incredibly eye-catching.

Yes, we're talking that distintive Marshall shape and branding for your ears, keeping that same white on black colour scheme naturally and with the 'Marshall' signature in the headband.

Sadly, Zound Industries is only showing off the headphones round the trade shows right now, but it is ahead of a full commercial release, likely to be later this year.

Swifty is one of our favourite artists, which is why we asked him to do the latest re-design of our Modculture site. He's also certain to appeal to old school skateboard enthusiasts with his Swifty Skates range.

Just like in '76, the example above is a solid wood (specifically oak) 27-inch deck that's flat and solid, as well as being sanded and lacquered to a shine, decorated with Swifty's graphics top and bottom.

See over the page for another image and check out Swifty's site to see the other boards in the range, as well as the similarly-styled t-shirts, which sell for £25. The boards? They go from £140.
