This radio, designed by Roberts' Radio Co. Ltd. had a wooden case and was covered in Leopardskin. It was designed as a high quality centre piece for their stand at the 1964 Earl's Court Radio Show. Today the company does not support the killing of animals for their skins. The PVC ankle boots were designed by Mary Quant in 1967. Mary Quant was very influential at the time. The boots have special absorbent material on the inside.
