Two Little Boys introduce retro-styled Decade Print notebooks

Vintage_notes

Here at Retro To Go, we like to pride ourselves on covering items for everyone’s budget. So from four-figure coffee tables we got to Decade Print notebooks for under a tenner.

But these notebooks are every bit as eye-catching in their own way. With covers based on textiles of the 60s and 70s, each notebook is packed with ‘thick plain paper’ so you can jot down your world domination plans when inspiration strikes.

Available from May, each one is priced at £7.

Art deco inspired handbags from Dorothy Perkins

18913301_normal

I have to admit it seems one of the most unlikely couplings to have Dorothy Perkins and art deco in the same sentence, but the often underwhelming high street store has come up trumps this Spring.

This attractively designed bag lends heavily from a 1920s art deco inspiration in the pattern, and the shape also has something remiscent of flapper girl style. Completed with gold and black beading, this bag is paired with a more traditional clutch bag also available.

The shoulder bag version will cost you a very reasonable £20 online or in stores.

Superieur TBL – space age coffee table

Tbl

Not just a modern design, a space age one – the Superieur TBL coffee table.

Also known as the ‘UFO’ table (because of its 1970s sci-fi looks), the TBL is good for indoor or outdoor use, thanks to its fibreglass construction. There’s also a satin white lacquer finish and tinted grey glass resting on the top.

It retails for $4,500 (around £2,250). I’ve hunted round for a European retailer, so far without success – but if you have money to spare, you could contact the US retailer below for worldwide shipping.

Fred Perry unveils latest limited edition Paul Weller-designed top

Weller_newfredperry

After the success of its first Paul Weller collaboration, Fred Perry has again teamed up with Paul Weller to produce the Paul Weller Limited Edition Shirt.

This isn’t an adaptation of an old design, it’s a brand new style designed by Weller, based on his own drawings and other reference material, with the aim of creating something ‘contemporary’ and ‘on the money’. Although to these eyes, it has a distinctly sixties look.
