There’s an Olympics in China this year, which is always a good time to bring out some Olympics-based merchandise. But I’m not complaining if it’s as eye-catching as these classic Olympics sports bags.

All are reproductions featuring the logos of the respective games –  Tokyo 1964, Mexico 1968, Munich 1972, Moscow 1980 and USA 1984 will be available to buy. The bags are made from PVC leather and are fully lined, also featuring an adjustable strap and rubber zip pull.

Sized at 33cm by 24cm by 9cm, they will retail from early July for £24.95 each (although you can pre-order now).

When the sun finally shines each year I find myself dreaming of cinematic bike rides through wooded river banks. While that level of fantasy might be slightly ridiculous, some of you might just like to invest in these fantastic saddlebags for just such an occasion.

From La Redoute, these Torrent bags are available in this great daisy print or the classic red gingham shopper pattern. They’re made of waxed fabric to ensure water resistance and cost a pretty reasonable £29.

An unmistakably 1970s design on a very modern bag – the Marimekko Bancha bag.

The design was created in 1970 by Maija Isola’s Samovaari, inspired by ‘exotic countries’ apparently, although right now it’s only going as far as your shoulder, with a strap for carrying and a large storage area for your daytime essentials.

Just out, you can pick one up for £38.
