Everyone is trying to sell you a reusable eco-frendly bag right now, but we think this Schuh retro-styled shopper is up there with the best of them.
It’s an internet exclusive and limited to just 5,000, with the fabric bag featuring a pair of old school Adidas trainers as well as the company logo. And it’s fairly large too – 37 x 41 x 13cm.
But best of all, it’s cheap – you can pick one up for £1.99 and delivery is free.
Is it really 20 years since the Sega Mega Drive adorned our bedrooms? Apparently so – and to celebrate, the Sega Mega Drive 20th anniversary tote bag has been introduced.
Sadly, this is Japan only (officially), although there is a US mail order outlet too with worldwide shipping. More on that later, first the bag. It’s an oversized tote, with enough room for a vintage console and much more besides. The detailing of course, is the Mega Drive itself, with an extra side pocket in the cartridge slot.
It’s a head-turner and you can bag one from Himeya Shop for $55, plus the cost of shipping to your particular country. Don’t hang around – these are sure to sell out quickly.

Some of the greatest, and most underrated, art images of the 20th century are the covers of both albums and books. Pulp fiction has some of the best pop art of the century, and is thankfully often reproduced in some of the best gifts for retro lovers.
Uncommon Gifts has a wide range of cases and tins feature retro designs, some of the best being these Femme Fatale card cases. The left image is a book cover, while the High Test Girls goes unexplained, but looks suspiciously like a fantastically enticing billboard.
They’re available online for $28 each.

Cosmetic bags that are well designed are a really ideal Christmas gift for a girlier recipient. Ollie & Nic‘s new range is especially worth the purchase thanks to the fact that they’re equally good looking enough to serve as handbags or purses too.
While any old thing will often do for makeup, a cosmetic bag or vanity case that you really love feels like a treat, and is a really easy gift idea for girls who aren’t so easy to buy for. Opt for vintage framed purse styles, or a ditsy print floral vanity case as shown.
Sleek lines and handsomely coloured leather are something of a mainstay in 60s and 70s design, especially that of bags. This pair of Click Clack handbags are by Diane von Furstenberg, proving she’s still got the sensibilities that made her famous.
Whether in this burnt orange or stark white, this bag looks expensively made and wonderfully simplistic. It’s something of a rare find to see a retro styled bag without embellishment, so one of these is worth it for staying power alone.
