We did feature some Orla Kiely mugs recently, but her range certainly isn’t limited to just homeware – she’s also producing some interesting fashion and accessories too, including this rather nice Orla Kiely 60s style Shopper bag.

This two-toned bag is made from soft leather, with stem print lining and leather strap with stud fastenings. There’s also an exterior pocket with stud fastening and intererior detailing, a mobile pocket and key chain.

Available in a choice of colours (green dark blue and red), it’s available for £330.

As well as making expensive exclusive shoes, Rupert Sanderson also sells some very impressive retro-styled luggage.

Here’s the tale – last year Rupert found an old established family run luggage manufacturer just north of Milan. Rather than buying some, he approached the company with the idea of making a small collection of cases and bags, not unlike the old-style steamer trunks.

So here it is – made from cream velum (bleached kid skin) and, in the case of the ridged models, stretched over lightweight wooded frames. All the pieces are edged and are available in a choice of 22 different colours of leather.

It’s also made to order, so expect to wait two months. And the price? Well, let’s just say if you need to ask, you might need to consider other options.
