Hollander budget retro-styled city bike at Made.com

Think a city bike costs a small fortune? Not always. Indeed, these Hollander retro-styled bicycles at Made.com, are just £169 each.

There's a male and a female variation – see the male over the page. Both are similar though, with the single-speed bike boasting a leather (adjustable) saddle, steel frame, dynamo power for the retro lights, caliper brakes, stand and that staple of a vintage bike, a bell. It's also made by a company with over 60 years of bike-building experience too.

Like all Made.com products, they're made to order based on you getting in before a deadline. As I write, that deadline is just over two days away, so if you want one, get in now for that discounted price of £169, as opposed to the hgh street price of £539.

Heal’s City cupboard

Posted on | 1 Comment

 City small

At first you'd be forgiven for thinking Heal's City cupboard is simply inspired by mid-century looks. That influence is obvious, but this design is also described as 'a mixture of contemporary and retro styling', giving a twist to the look.

That's because while the doors are are made from cut walnut veneer and the feet are solid walnut, the actual cupboard is made from white lacquer. I'm not totally convinced by the combination (and think I would have preferred just a walnut cupboard) but, if you like this juxtaposition of looks, there's also an accompanying sideboard available. 

The City cupboard will set you back £1495.

Eak bag

For a simple bag with retro charm, look no further than this City travel bag from EaK design. It's a canvas bag printed with a cheerful urban scene, similar in feel to Michelle Mason tumblers we featured a little while back, which themselves reminded us of Royston Cooper's classic 60s transport posters.

The design, from the studio of Eleanor Stevenson and Kate Phillips, is screen-printed onto the canvas. The bag's been given longer handles too, perfect for lugging all your stuff around a city. 

The bag costs £15.
