You’ll certainly stand out on the daily commute with this Noi retro shoulder bag.
A big and bold 70s-style design in orange and brown jumps out at you, with more sedate matching handles keeping it securely on your shoulder. Practical too – with plenty of internal space, along with inside pockets for your phone, purse and cards.
Available now, you can pick it up for £34.

A mini dress might not exactly be the most practical of style choices for these months, but the mini shift is a perennial classic not to be missed at any time of year. This Shoshanna silk dress is a modern take on the 60s mod classic that’ll be worn year in and out.
With a sharp geometric print, the simple silhouette is brought to life and looks quintessentially sixties as a result. The quirky addition of a neat pussybow neck has a little more artistic liscence, but works well in this silk fabric.
With a designer label, and 100% silk outer, it doesn’t come too cheap at $350 from Neiman Marcus.
Loving the 60s-style looks of this Retro Ball Desk Lamp.
Clad in chrome, the desk lamp offers up two lighting units, both adjustable (via the swivel head) and of course, offering twice the light.
It stands around 60cm tall, with each bulbs up to 40w good for use. Yours for £52. And the phone isn’t included.

Looking for something different to send through the post this Christmas? You’ll not get more ‘out there’ than by sending the Chelsea skinhead Christmas card range from London Books.
You might remember London Books from its cult crime novels (which are well worth a look too). This new departure offers up two designs of card (including the one above), complete with envelopes, featuring the messages ‘Merry Christmas from the Chelsea Youth 1970’ and ‘Happy Christmas from the Chelsea Shed’.
Anyone with an interest in street or terrace culture will love them. A pack of 1o costs £10.

If you’re looking for that James Hunt 1970s look, you can start with the jacket – the Shell 1970s Bomber Jacket to be precise.
Part of Shell’s Heritage range, this waist length jacket features old school Shell logos, plenty of padding for those cold winter mornings, a distinctive period colour scheme, two side pockets and one inner pocket.
Limited numbers, it sells for £140.
A design inspired by modernism, but actually dating back to the 1980s – the Ondina Easy Chair and Sofa, now reissued through Zanotta.
The work of De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi and dating back to 1987, it carries more than a slight similarity to the work of Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier, with a stainless steel tubular frame holding the generously-upholstered seat, which can be finished in fabric or leather.
Prices start at £1,822 for the chair, rising to £3,509 for the sofa with leather finish.
