Gabicci launched thier vintage range recently, reproducing some vintage classics from the Gabicci back catalogue - which we're sure you'll agree are absolutely fantastic.

Gabicci was founded in 1973 with a range of Mod looking polos and knitwear which became instantly popular in the Northern Soul dance halls and later among the Revivalist Mods of the Seventies and Eighties. Moving on to the Nineties, Gabicci's Retro appeal saw the brand become popular on the Indie music scene (with original Seventies Gabicci Polos changing hands for up to £150.00 a time!)

Gabicci Vintage was launched in December 2007 and January 2008 to satisfy the demand for Gabicci's Retro look and Vintage Seventies Polos, Knitwear, Shirts and Jackets. Gabicci Vintage is back for Autumn and Winter 2008/09 with some great styles and reproductions, from Slimfit Mod Polo tops to fantastic Retro Seventies Zip Up heavy weight cardigans - ideal for colder weather.

Get over to Atom Retro now to see the full Gabicci Vintage range.

PS. Looking for a Stocking filler for the Mod in your life this Christmas? We've even got some Gabicci Socks!

 

Here's something I very nearly forgot to tell you about!

Introducing British Heritage Brand, and Indie Fashion Favourite, BUKTA at Atom Retro!

We are very pleased to now be stocking Bukta - the orginal and first ever Sports Clothing Brand, and worn by Indie icons such as Liam Gallagher.

Bukta was founded in Manchester, England in 1879 by Edward Buck and Sons, begining life manufactoring Army Shorts for soldiers. It wasn't long until Bukta turned its hand to sports kits and a legend was born. Bukta supplied almost all the major Football and Rugby teams at one time or another throughout the 20th centuary - but if you haven't heard of them - this was in the days before obvious branding on sportswear (it wasn't actually allowed!) - and by the Sixties, Bukta was worn by more sports teams than any other brand.

You may recall this iconic Bukta Football kit worn by George Best:

Bukta went from strength to strength in the Seventies and Eighties, enjoying worldwide sucess. However, you may not have seen them around much in recent years - but worry not! Bukta was relaunched in 2005, still based in Manchester, still making thier fantastic Sports kits, but now back on the high street (or internet in our case!) and better than ever!

Last weekend saw the launch of Fender Footwear at Atom Retro, with a fantastic 15 new styles of Boots, Shoes, Trainers, and yes, even flip flops!

Fender Footwear is hotly tipped as the next-big-thing in Footwear Fashion, and with a Retro look and feel and undeniable Rock and Indie links, they are also perfect for all you Retro Indie fashionistas!

Fender of course is a name more readily associated with Guitars and Guitar players, but Fender Shoes are no different. Already worn by many musicians and bands, as diverse as Razorlight, Badly Drawn Boy, The Fratellis, Buddy Guy, Doves, Bez and Shaun Ryder of The Happy Mondays, Nils Lofgren, Whitesnake ... and many more... the Rock and Roll-ness of these shoes and trainers cannot be mistaken. And to ensure this, every design produced by Fender Footwear is approved by Fender HQ over in Arizona, USA.

Get some Rock and Roll for your feet!
