Retro Cassette Wallet
Let me tell you something about ‘retro’. Retro is cool. Retro is funky. Retro is being out of date and yet strangely fashionable at the same time. Retro is all about being warm and glowy about something that not so long ago we were lambasting (nothing to do with lambs… or cooking) from the rooftops.
Take the humble cassette. Consigned to the backwater of technological has-beens. But we love ‘em. Now that we don’t actually have to use them, we think they are fantastic. A design icon.
And yet, if we could only remember what it was really like… Take me for example - many’s the time I can remember listening to the latest ‘Bucks Fizz’ track before having a hissy-fit because my ghetto blaster unexpectedly munched the tape and made it unplayable. In retrospect, perhaps the ghetto blaster was trying to save me from myself, but the point still stands - cassette’s were, are and always will be rubbish (’trash’ to our American readers; ‘poo-poo’ to our doggie readers).
With that in mind, I present the Retro Cassette Wallet. Is it a cassette? Is it a wallet? No, it’s a cassallet ™. Hand made by Graham in his flat in Runcorn (that bit may be made up). I love ‘em. They cost $43 (£25; €36).
