Featured in Top Gear Magazine!

We are delighted that the guys over at "Top Gear Magazine" like our fire extinguishing device just as much as we do and are featuring it in their February 13 edition! Top Gear Magazine thinks that "another extinguisher would ruin your style" - how right they are!

Of course it looks great in your home too...

A Woman's Heart

A few days ago we snapped a photo of this humorous and beautiful drawing but have unfortunately forgotten where we found it. Nevertheless we want to share it with you, especially with Valentine's Day coming up soon!

London with icing

Icing on the cake: a dusting of snow lies outside our shop today. It started to snow this morning and hasn't stopped since. Quite romantic...

Regent Retro Toaster

 

 Regent  Retro Toaster by Rowlett

 

Retro is the new techno, and it doesn't get much more retro than the Retro Regent toaster. The Regent is more 70's than a flower-powered VW Beetle playing a Cat Stevens eight-track.

The Retro Regent comes in many colours - Saturday Night Fever white, Psychedelic yellow or Old Grey Whistle Test grey, Spacehopper orange is to name a few.

But the Regent is much more than just fun, funky and very, very flared. Oh yes, the Regent recently only went and took away the Home 2012 Exhibition Best British Product award at Earl's Court.

 

 

Until the Regent strutted away with the Ideal Home gong like John Travolta's grandkid, it wasn't even available on the retail market.

 

 

But the folk at Earl's Court thought the "Yellow one" was so unbelievably fab that Rowlett's been manufacturing them faster than you can say 'May the force be with you'. Well, the toast.

   

Truth is, Rowlett has actually been making these four-slot toasters since the 1970s. Which makes them accidentally retro.

And that's as groovy as it gets.

The main features of our toasters are

•           Made in Britain

•           The highest quality Controls. Time Switches (with ringer), Slot Selectors etc.

•           Pure Mica elements. (No nasty fumes & Silicone free)

•           No Chrome all Stainless Steel. No plastics except Knobs.

•           Heavy cast aluminium ends (Esprit Model)… Coloured.
•           Multi position slot selector switches for economy…no heating fresh air.
•           Virtually 100% recyclable ..if you ever get to that stage.
•           All models approved by BEAB/INTERTEK to the very latest specifications 
•           The World best toasters.

order your toaster here
The toaster is handmade and nearly always to order, so you would need to allow a bit of time for deliver.

Toronto!

At arrival in downtown, Toronto doesn't necessarily greet you with its most charming side at first, but once you take your time to discover the other individual districts, it reveals truly interesting features such as quirky shops, cool galleries, excellent restaurants and good architecture! Here are a few photographic impressions we captured during our recent visit to Canada's hotspot.
