There are some retro patterns designed by group were part of the memphis movement (a "for-real" retro inspired design group) such as Serigrafia - 1269SOFT. You can look on line and find a rep at: http://www.abetlaminati.com. They have charming iridescent pieces, not exactly like the gold speckled glitter but with the same sort of feeling. Hope this adds to the mix of choices! Hi,
