We featured some of these last year, but now Vespa has a new range of retro-styled shoulder bags available online.
The one above is the GS150, described as an 'eco-leather bag- with scooter image on the top, with the Vespa logo and pop art style image below, as well as plenty of capacity and a detachable shoulder strap.
If you want one, you can pick one up online for 30 Euros. See the full range via the link below.
It's not easy doing something different and interesting with the classic Harrington jacket, but we think these Junya Watanabe vs Baracuta Harrington jackets hit the mark.
For the uninitiated, Junya Watanabe is a Japanese fashion designer working under the Comme des Garçons label, But for high fashion (which these are), the jackets are actually very wearable. Most of the original Baracuta detailing is intact (there's even a label for both labels inside), with the double-button collar, buttoned cuffs and hand warmer pockets, but there's also a double zip, squared off bottom, patterned lining and of course, those bold fabric designs. Purists will also appreciate the lack of a label on the outside too.
High fashion doesn't come cheap and these are no exception, with prices starting at around £360.
A modern design, but one that's taken serious influence from the late 1960s- the Zanotta Hillroad armchair by Christophe Pillet.
This swivel chair has a varnished steel base, with the circular seat upholstered in a stiff but comfortable polyurethane foam. And just to finish things off, there's a choice of nylon or leather for the covering – removable should you ever fancy a change down the line.
Prices vary dependent on your finish, but start at around £1,300.
New bag, but with old school looks – the Fred Perry vintage shoulder bag.
Take your pick from green (above), dark blue or deep red, all with thick, adjustable shoulder strap, contrast stripe, Fred Perry laurel logo and plenty of space for either your everyday things or your hand luggage.
Yours for £35.
Not the easiest thing to find, but if you do pick up this Space Invaders LED watch, you'll certainly turn a few heads.
A limited edition of just 500, the watch shows the time as a red dot-matrix display, with a press of a button replacing the digits for the words 'space invaders', followed by some game-like invaders animation and the words 'game over'. All wrapped up in a 70s-style casing with the game's logo on the front and back.
Downside? Well, one big one – you can't actually play the game on the watch. Sold in a custom box, you can pick them up from Japanese online retailers (like the one below) for the equivalent of £143.

Jaeger is a familiar name, but you might be surprised to know that the fashion house has been around for 125 years. And that landmark is being celebrated by a new book, with the appropriate title of Jaeger 125.
The work of London College of Fashion lecturers Amy de la Haye and Judith Clark, the book plunders the archive of Jaeger to show its development from avant-garde knitwear maker to modern-day fashion brand. Look out for it in March 2009 for an as-yet undisclosed price. A couple of images from the book are above.
And for fans of vintage fashion, Jaeger is also producing a 'capsule collection' of original designs from the Jaeger archive of the 1960s, specifically from 1962 to 1965. These Jaeger 125 designs will be on the shelves and online from March 2009 – more on those when we get the images.
