Vanity cases are still a must have essential for travel, but they aren't always as attractive as they once were. With fifties and sixties styling, retro cases can serve as gorgeous luggage or even double as a handbag.

This Paradise Vanity Case from Ollie & Nic features a cute tropical print that conjures up an exotic pinup style. In a classic, bubbly shape, the case is practical too thanks to sturdy construction. A mirror and pockets in the lining make it ideal for girls on the go.

It's now in the sale for 50% off at just £12.50.
