Peanuts 60th anniversary products at Dover Street Market

Posted on | Leave a comment

Peanuts1

You may or may not know that it's 60 years since Charles M. Schulz brought Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts characters into the world. So to celebrate, Dover Street Market has teamed up with a host of brands to produce a Peanuts 60th anniversary range.

From 27th September, the store will have a Peanuts-themed window and a range of goodies from the likes of Lacoste, Loopwheeler, Original Fake, Converse, Hysteric Glamour, Longchamp, Medicom Be@rbrick and Mulberry.

You can see some above, but check out the Peanuts Be@rbrick characters over the page, along with the Converse and the watch. Prices? No details of those as yet, check the DSM website on launch date. But we suspect the Longchamp Snoopy bag isn't going to come cheap.

It's the work of Anna Betts, an illustration student and this is a digital print of an original collage. There's a sewing machine, scales, typewriter and other covetable goods, topped off by the retro type and – of course – the turquoise colouring.

Daisy Lane collection at Lark

Posted on | Leave a comment

Daisy lane

For any girl who celebrated their birthday in the 1970s, the style of the new Daisy Lane collection at Lark will be instantly familiar. 

The range has been created by Allison at the Australian store Lark who was inspired by some vintage greetings cards she unearthed and decided to track down the original illustrator. That turned out to be Sue Adams, who created the sweet and flowery illustrations, so typical of the period, for greeting cards from the 1960s to the 1980s. The designs have now been revived and turned into a children's gift range, currently including posters, badges and bas of sweet and soon to be expanded. 

Prices start at AUS$4.95 for the badges sold with accompanying gift cards.

Max Dalton mid-century cocktail party cut-out set

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cocktail_print_max_dalton

Aspire to the mid-century dream lifestyle but were born in the wrong decade and wrong country with the wrong budget? Live out your Mad Men-esque fantasies with this cocktail party cut-out set by Max Dalton. 

Like one of those paper dolls, you cut up the sheet and place the characters to replicate a swinging 60s soiree. The set includes everything from the house, to the car and the chairs and the slickly attired guests. There's a view of an assembled version over the page but, if the designs really appeal, you could frame the artwork as one piece. Fancy a barbecue instead? Well, you're in luck as Dalton's also designed one of them too with equal style. 

The prints start at $24.24, dependent on size.
