Retro's Our Bag! Our Latest Bags and Satchels

As much a we love a good T-Shirt (which is a lot!), something that is always high on our retro radar is a good bag.

Probably one of the most practical and versatile accessories out there, a good bad says...'yeh I need to carry stuff around, but I'm going to do it with some style damn it!' well at least that's what floating in our minds.

To help you guys do just this, we've unleashed some amazing new retro bags that are the perfect way to stay ever purposeful and add some extra style into your day.

First up is our new Beano Messenger Bag featuring a collage of the cheeky duo, Dennis The Menace and Gnasher that will be instantly recognisable to all those comic book out there.

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 18!

Poseidon's Trident! It's been three weeks since my last confession, I mean Movie Rundown! First came the great flood and then I went on me holibobs for two weeks but you'll be glad to know all I did was laze about in my pants watching films ;-) You'll be less than thrilled to know that the movies I watched were the likes of “Mega Shark V's Giant Octopus” and “Two Headed Shark Attack" both brilliantly terrible films you're sure to agree so I watched them twice (totally deserve an Oscar!)

Also I'm to believe that someone else took over my duties as "Captain Film Dude" (official title - I have a badge and everything) and probably suggested you watched “Spiderman” and “Transformers” for three weeks! That menacing doppelganger must be stopped.

Never the less I'm back so that must mean it's the weekend Hooray! for us. So like the blistering hot sun showering us with rays of golden retro joyfulness as we stand buried waist deep in sand on a beautiful tropical beach let us be your bucket and spade and build you a nostalgic movie masterpiece.

Happy retro weekend folks :-)

V and A Museum announce a David Bowie Exhibition!

Up until recently - we thought 'V and A' stood for Victoria and Albert - however after their recent announcement regarding David Bowie, it clearly stands for 'Very Awesome'!

The V and A Museum, known for it's dedication to art and design are hosting a David Bowie exhibition featuring over 300 items from the David Bowie Archive, from costumes to handwritten lyrics - to create the first international retrospective of the musician's incredible career.

The exhibition's co-creator, Victoria Broackes recently told Vogue Magazine why she's so excited about the event. "Bowie is a pioneer not just in music, but also of rock theatre, videos, internet and digital downloads. He's always personally and actively involved in everything that he creates and he is continuously cited as an influence by artists, designers and performers. This influence on music, fashion, visual and virtual culture, which seems if anything to be growing, links him directly to almost every subject area the V&A covers."

It's only fair of us to put together a mini tribute - showcasing some of our own David Bowie clothing, who knows - they could become collectors items one day!

If you're a fan of Labyrinth, we have an amazing selection of Labyrinth t-shirts - perfect for all you avid fans out there!
