Orla Kiely for Apple brings together retro prints with thoroughly modern technology.

The collection consists of a range of bags and sleeves, all design exclusively for Apple and specifically to fit around your Mac. The products are available in three prints; her signature stem print, the car park print, and probably the most appropriate for computer related products, a pattern called Binary, which consists of zeros and ones.

Prices start at £59.95 for the Mac sleeves and go up to £194.95.  Buy them online from the Apple Store.

Regular readers might recall that we produced a best vintage camera apps article a short time back. If you really want to take that idea to the extreme, you might want to pick up the HipstaCase 100 for the iPhone.

As you might have guessed, this an iPhone 4 case, designed to look like a plastic camera from the 1980s. The one-piece, snap-on case offers 'premium' protection for the iPhone (or iPod touch), a tripod adapter and a wrist lanyard for quick and secure access.

$39.95 is the price at the Hipstamart website.

Polaroid Camera Set at Urban Outfitters

Polaroid

We've still not seen the Lady Gaga Polaroid cameras in the shops, so if you want to go Polaroid right now, you'll have to buy something like this Polaroid Camera Set at Urban Outfitters.

Sadly, Urban Outfitters doesn't give the full model details of the camera in question. We've done some hunting round and not found an exact copy – if you are an expert, feel free to drop a comment below.

But it does offer all the classic Polaroid functionality, with instant snaps developed in front of your eyes in minutes, with some modern-day PX film from Impossible Project thrown in to get you started. A handy flash too, for poor light snaps. £120 is the price of the set, but be warned – refill film packs (also available at Urban Outfitters), do cost £25 each.

Camera print by Andrew Joyce

Posted on | Leave a comment

Camera

If you're a vintage camera enthusiast, there's plenty of artwork out there to cater to your taste, but I'm betting this camera print by Andrew Joyce is one of the most reasonably priced.

Like the work of Christine Berrie that we featured a little while back, this design is based around a range of cameras. The rolleicord, the polaroid,even the iPhone – they're all depicted by Bath-based Joyce in this A2 sized print. The single colour of the screen print that's been used helps enhance the vintage feel of the objects illustrated. 

If you like the print, you're advised to snap one up now. It's an edition of 25, priced at just £15.
