This 1970s Mexican souvenir jacket makes me want to do the trembly eyes emoji. Honestly, when I see something as beautiful as this - for the price of a jacket on the high street - it’s what makes me feel so grateful for the vintage options on the internet. It was never as good as this in the old days! Butterworth’s Vintage Company sells old workwear and menswear and occasionally a jaunty piece like this. It’s well worth a lazy long trawl.

Have I told you guys about Le Krazy Horse yet? (No, not a night club.) It’s a Danish e-store and it is full of such joyful vintage bits. Have you ever seen a hard bread slicer before? Nor me! Do you need one? Definitely not! Still love it. Ditto this wall light. But the real hero are their pendant kits. Great price, beautiful design. Love the beech ball on top.

Iota Edit has a new drop and I really love founder and curator Lucy McWhirter’s careful, considerate edit of small makers. This pair of pewter candlesticks and snuffer would be such a great Christmas (!!!) present.

I cannot get enough of these bonnet wood stools. Annoyingly, based in America, so you have to factor in shipping (about £200 all in.) I love that they are fun colours without looking too ‘new’ or plasticky.
