Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Specialty Ox limited edition plimsolls

Posted on | Leave a comment

Plim1

Not our plain old Chuck Taylor plimsoll, the limited edition Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Specialty Ox plimsolls change the format just a little bit from the 1917 original.

Take your pick between royal blue, black (pictured over the page) or a hi-top, with this new version of the (almost) century-old shoe offering a tonal rubber toe box and the bold colour, whilst taking away the contrast form stripe.

Aside from that, fairly standard stuff with a canvas upper and vulcanised sole. Sold with an alternate contrast lace set and in limited numbers, you can pick up a pair for £37.

Heritage teapot

 

If you like to celebrate tradition while indulging in your cuppa, this Heritage teapot from Marks and Spencer could be the thing for you. 

It's made from English earthenware and is decorated with the Union Jack on its side and lid. Add to that the description Land of Hope and Glory that's emblazoned across the side of the teapot and you've got a pretty patriotic accompaniment to your tea. 

If you want to carry the look further, you can buy mugs and plates in the same range. 

The teapot costs £29.50.

Cyclepedia

We love a vintage bicycle, which is why we'll be investing in a copy of Cyclepedia: A Tour of Iconic Bicycle Designs book by Michael Embacher.

It's packed with such things, specifically charting 100 models designed over the past 90 years, models apparently chosen for their 'innovative mechanisms, engineering precision, and commendable design'. Mountain, racing, single-speed, touring, kids', tandem, urban, folding, cargo, and curiosities, they're all here.

Wallpaper has an online gallery of some of those models if you want a glimpse inside. If you like what you see, the book has just been published by Thames & Hudson and available on Amazon now for a discounted £11.73.

eBay watch: Pashley Princess bicycle

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pashley

This retails for around £550 when sold new, so right now, this Pashley Princess bicycle is a potential bargain.

It's a decent example of this vintage-styled gem too, not perfect, but perfectly serviceable. It's a three-speed in Regency Green with a 20-inch frame size, hub brakes, ding dong bell, Brooks Saddle and recent Michelin World Tour Amber Wall Tyres.

On the downside, the frame is scratched in quite a few places and the outer black plastic covers on the various cables are damaged. Aside from that, it's just fine. Right now, it's at £69.

Sherlock Cape by Rocha.John Rocha

Posted on | Leave a comment

Rochacape

Mainstream outerwear has long had a rich seam of vintage inspiration, with this Winter seeing a major comeback for the sixties look cape. Some high street designers are still finding plenty of inspiration from the style, as seen in this Sherlock Cape by Rocha.John Rocha.

With a trench coat inspired style, the look is kept classic with a fawn colouring and true retro detailing. The high collar, storm flap and epaulettes retain the military influence on original trench coats, while the cape cut and waist belt add some mid sixties design flair.

It's now available from Debenhams for £89.
