Two Superman products for super peeps!

on Monday, 30 August 2010.

Superman-bag

Superman... one of our favourite subjects to talk about. Our manager is particularly keen on Superman. But we'll try not to witter on for too long.

He's the greatest superhero ever, with wondrous God-like powers such as invulnerability, limitless speed, super strength, heat vision and super hearing. Why wouldn't we love him?

We've got two awesomely cool Superman products to show you today, a messenger bag and
wallet. Both are printed with authentic DC Comics artwork of yesteryear and are robustly made in very blue, leather look material. Although the messenger bag material is significantly thicker.

The need for speed!

on Sunday, 29 August 2010.

We're always striving for greatness here at Retro 36 HQ. That means improving everything, such as our displays, service, product offering, website, etc. So one of the tasks at the moment is to speed up our website http://www.retro36.com/shop. A memorable quote from Top Gun springs to mind, 'I feel the need... the need for speed!'

After some effort, we've managed to increase page load speed by over 10% (on average). Hopefully you'll notice the pages loading faster, which in turn will give you a more rewarding experience.

Bye for now, we've got improvements to make :-)

Groovy graffiti

on Thursday, 19 August 2010.

A couple of days ago we spied a 'man with a can' creating a piece of groovy graffiti on a wall opposite us. So Barry (the founder) thought, why not give the artist one of our Banksy prints. Barry grabbed one of the best sellers and wandered over the road. He duly presented the artist (known as Nerv) with the Banksy and well, as you would expect, Nerv was as pleased as punch.
