Cassette-shaped tote bag at Truffle Shuffle

Cassette_tote

Novelty bags don't come much quirkier than this Cassette-shaped tote bag, which is currently for sale at Truffle Shuffle.

It is what it says – a large bag shaped like an old cassette tape, with a handle that looks not unlike some that loose tape that always hung out of old cassettes.

Ideal for a beach or shopper, but especially good for getting you attention, it sells for £7.99.

Cassette wall sticker from Ferm Living

We've featured countless products based on cassettes and countless more wall stickers, so it was only natural that the two should combine at some point. And, lo and behold, the cassette wall sticker from Ferm Living

It's black and it's big, measuring 100 x 50cm. It's also quite expensive for what it is at £61.30. But there's surely no better way to illustrate your devotion to tape technology.

Wednesday Garden’s cassette notebooks

Wednesday Garden cassette

Every week a designer seems to come up with a new way to reinvent the humble cassette tape. The latest guise are these cassette notebooks made by Wednesday Garden

The notebook is the actual size of a cassette tape and comes in four different designs, each with a different style of cassette on the cover. To complete the illusion, the notebook comes in its very own clear cassette-like case. Plenty of space to write down all your ideas for new mix tapes too, with 100 blank pages per book. 

Wednesday Garden are a Thai company and each notebook costs 120 Thailand Baht. That works out at roughly just over £2.

C60 cassette wallpaper from Mini Moderns

C60 wallpaper

Two favourite things meet in this wallpaper: a love of the humble cassette and a love of Mini Moderns' designs. Mini Modern's latest design for kids (or grown-ups who haven't quite grown up) is the C60 wallpaper. The pattern repeats a variety of different tapes, bringing back fond memories of carefully creating and listening to mix tapes with names such as 'summer hits' or 'party mix'.

The image shown is in the chalkboard and gold option but, if you are extra keen to encourage your kids to pay homage to this lost technology, it also comes in the customisable 'colour me' option. Both versions cost £38 per roll.
