Baby Betty Pin-Up Purses from Miss Bud

Much of the style of modern pin-up reinvention is unflinchingly daring, with bright colours, bold prints and luxurious textures collding to create a vampy and kitsch look. If you love the style but aren’t quite brave enough to go whole hog yet, well chosen accessories are an ideal in-road.

These Baby Betty Pin-Up Purses by Miss Bud have all the kitsch appeal of a pin-up inspired rockabilly look in one piece. A satin-look fabric provides the luxurious edge to a classic, tattoo style pin-up and card game print – a look now synonymous with 50s rockabilly fashion. Finished with a kiss-lock clasp and vintage style frame it’s the perfect way to get some retro in your every day wardrobe.

Get yours online from Dollydagger for £32.

Sadly, not a working vintage typewriter, but still a talking point – the Kate Spade 'All Typed Up Clyde' crossbody satchel.

It's a very eye-catching retro-styled bag, made of light textured leather, with patent leather handles, an optional strap and of course, featuring those keys, which you want to reach out and press, even on the picture.

Finished off with an exterior zip-around pocket, several interior pockets and a custom jacquard lining, it sells at Nordstrom for $495, or if you are in the UK, £326.47. No, quirky doesn't come cheap in this case.

Hanitape Cassette-Shaped Wallet

There are almost as many cassette-tape related products as there are vinyl-inspired items, although I doubt somehow that the CD will be the cause of such nostalgia in years to come. The latest cassette item I’ve seen is the Hanitape, a wallet by the London based design Haniboi.

Made from recyclable silicone rubber in the shape of a cassette tape, the Hanitape fastens using magnets so that your cash and cards are kept securely inside. It is available in three bright colours (red, yellow and blue, but I think the grey version looks most like a real tape. 

Buy the Hanitape online from the Hanibol website, for £12.50
