If you didn’t know, Interflug was the state airline for what was formerly East Germany (from the 1960s through to the 1990s). Obviously, when the wall came down, so did the airline – but you can still get the iron curtain look with the Interflug retro flight bag.

Featuring the ‘classic’ logo on the dark blue bag along with red contrast piping, the bag has a detachable/adjustable strap, a large single pocket and a slim pocket on the outside.

It retails for £22.

Another great set of retro bags from the high street courtesy of Debenhams. This time, rather than buying yet another shoulder bag that you just couldn’t resist, this pair offer something decidedly more practical.

On the right is a hanging bag suitable for home or travel, allowing you to save much needed space in your wardrobe for the rest of your retro lovelies. Match it up with this cute make-up bag to make a great weekend set that’ll look every bit as stylish outside as in.

Dupenny make tote bags made from vintage fabric. The current selection includes several made from retro floral material, but it was this Vintage Star Wars Print Tote Bag that particularly caught my attention.

It is made from fabric printed with cartoon incarnations of Star Wars characters.  As they are handmade from vintage fabric, they can not guarantee that each bag will look exactly like the one picture so you may get more R2-D2 than Han Solo!

It is backed with cotton canvas for extra durability and has a navy materials reverse and matching handles.

It costs £18 and is available to buy from Dupenny through the Not on the High Street website.

Not the most expensive bag you will buy or indeed the most rare – but the Gola Bronson bag is something of a timeless classic.

Available in an endless number of retro colourways, the shoulder bag has an adjustable strap, large inside picket, smaller front pocket and should you forget who you are, a slot for your name and address.

As cheap as they come at £19.99 each.
