We’re always on the hunt for interesting bags – let’s be honest, if you have to carry one round the supermarket, it just has to look good. And you’ll get a few admiring looks from this Loungefly Boombox tote bag.

Ideal for shopping or the daily commute, the Boombox tote has a bold graphical mix of old-style cassette players and tapes, as well as a polka dot interior, two slots for mobile phones, a vinyl trim and best of all, a cassette-shaped coin purse.

You can pick one up for $45, which is around £25.

Lomo doesn’t just make cool cameras, it makes some pretty smart add-ons too – like the Lomo Packrat bags.

Perfect for the big shop or the daily commute, the bags are available in two colours and two sizes – the larger one featuring the old Russian motif, the smaller (but not that small) with a screenprint of a vintage Lomo camera in a laurel. Aside from the design, the cotton canvas bags have a Lomo button on the overlong straps, an internal pocket and a padded bottom.

Prices are 30 Euros for the standard version, 40 Euros for the extra large.

Not really much use for a two-week break, but if you’re on the look out for easy-to-carry hand luggage, this Adidas retro-styled airline bag could fit the bill.
