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 Retro is being out of date and yet strangely fashionable at the same time.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).

Retro Telephones
  If you’re too young to remember Roland Rat or getting up early to watch “Why don’t you” in the summer hols, then you probably will never have used a good old fashioned telephone like this. Ever. Fact
Coming in black, pink or batman-red, this retro telephone seems a bit steep at £59.95 from firebox. However, my theory is …if you’re old enough to remember them, then you are probably aged 28+ which means you should be able to afford one.
Go on…impress your mates with one of these in your pad. They are fully refurbished so will work just like a normal phone.
Only down side is if you need to call the cops coz some chav is knicking your hub caps, it takes forever to dial 999.
Aforementioned chav will probably get away with his crime. So you have to decide….cool phone, or no hub caps. I know which one I’d go for.
