Hanging out washing is never going to be a glamorous task, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t at least try to make it more stylish. Our latest offering in this mission is this Retro Print Peg Bag by Jam-Tart.
The cotton bag is decorated with pictures of retro vehicles, including a scooter, a sidecar and a bubble car. The bag is available in a choice of pink or blue and is on offer for £7.50, having been reduced from £10.50.

There just isn’t enough orange leather in fashion anymore, if you ask me. The classic vintage burnt orange does make an appearance once in a while, and I suspect we might see a little more of it now the fashion world is going through a seventies revival.
This oversized bag is a fantastic shade, and makes a really bold statement because of it. It’s by Jasper Conran and is available at Debenhams for £75. A great price for 100% real leather and a classic shape that mixes retro and cutting edge effortlessly.
We have featured the high-end Pan Am anniversary bags recently, but if your budget doesn’t quite stretch that far, these classic Pan Am Cabin Bags offer just as much vintage style for considerably less.
In that classic blue and featuring an even more classic logo, the official Cabin Bag reissue carries enough capacity for all your on-board essentials and more, with details including a vintage print lining, vintage-style metallic zip fasteners and a Pan Am tag on an attached metal chain.
Just $59.99, which is around £30.

Yesterday we mentioned the Pan Am limited edition 1950s Hawaiian vanity cases, produced as part of the company’s 80th anniversary. Well, there’s something more exclusive than that – the Pan Am 80th anniversary Prestige Series bags.
The Prestige Collection is serious high-end, made of the finest leather, with a printed satin lining and monogrammed studs and zips. The pictures probably don’t do them justice or indeed show off the different designs, which are available in either midnight blue or platinum.
If you want to know more, contact Discoo via email for a brochure or images. But be warned, prices on these start at £415 and they’re in strictly limited numbers – which means joining a waiting list.
Vivienne Westwood is obviously most famous for her involvement in launching punk fashion in Britain.
She’s moved a long way from her infamously named shop, Sex, and is now making high end designer clothing with added quirk.
This bowling bag has a great bowling bag shape and handles, with Westwood’s typical stamp of the ‘out of the ordinary’ with this rather modern print.
The bag will set you back £360, but isn’t that the norm nowadays?
