If you're after a retro pad with heritage, you might want to check out this Grade II listed 1950s modernist apartment in Langham House Close, Ham, Surrey.
It's a first floor two double bedroom apartment to the side of Ham Common, designed in the late 1950s by Sir James Stirling and James Gowan. It's been updated since then, but not hugely – so you can turn this into your very own modernist pad with just a few tweaks and well chosen pieces of furniture.
We have mentioned the sales once or twice in the last week, but there's still plenty of bargains to be had – like the Sparkle Dress at L.K. Bennett.
Not just one knee-length dress, there are a couple of colour options, both with an early to mid-60s look, offering a silk, linen and cotton construction and a geometric cut-out pattern around the neckline.
Once it was £175, now it's just £75 online in either colour.
Home appliances don't often come with a retro twist. Or if they do, it's usually one inspired by the 1930s. That's not the case with the Bodum Bistro electric kettle.
This particular design is inspired by the space age era of the 60s and 70s, right down to the bold orange colour – although you can opt for one of the other five colour options if it's a bit much.
Apart from that, it's a typical electric kettle, capable of holding around half a litre of water. Oh yes – it's in the sale too, priced right now at £17.85 online.
If you thought the north in the 1950s was just terraced houses, factory chimneys and whippets, you really need to see this 1950s-designed modernist Domus house in Burnley, Lancashire, one of the finest midcentury houses we've seen on the market for quite some time.
Domus was built to 'specific architectural and modernistic designs' just outside Burnley in 1958 and much of that has been maintained over 50 years on. Check out the wonderful exterior of the huge four-bedroomed property, as well as the original concrete vaulted ceilings, the open living spaces and large glass windows. Plenty to enjoy inside too.
Always worth checking out the Size? sale, although you might have to trawl through to find the right sizes and the full 50 per cent discounts. You'll need to be quick before the best stuff goes too.
But if you get lucky, there are some real bargains here – like the classic Puma Roma 68 above, a football-themed shoe that celebrated the European Cup win for Italy in 1968, this time in white and navy.
Originally £54.99, it's in the sale for £29.99.
End Clothing always has a good end of year sale – and the current one has just started, offering the usual big discounts on classic labels.
Indeed, there's some cracking clobber at knock-down prices, the likes of Baracuta, Adidas (including the Craftmanship Samba trainers, Roms and Gazelle OG to name just three), A.P.C, as well as Pretty Green, Fila Vintage, Gitman, Heritage Research, Fred Perry, Levi's, Lyle & Scott, Lacoste, Sergio Tacchini and many more.
Just one example above, the Fila 82 Crewneck we featured a short time back. Then it was £69, now it's a tasty £41 – and perfect for the weather.
