Show the world your love of vinyl with this Record Deck bag.
Sadly, it has a modern deck on it rather than a vintage one, but it’s still quirky enough to catch the eye. As well as the deck design, this vinyl message bag has an adjustable shoulder strap, a large interior pocket and a zip top.
It’s sized at 40 x 30cm and retails for £25.
Over a year ago, we spotted what we thought was the coolest laptop bag around, but we couldn’t find anywhere to buy it. Well, good things come to all who wait and you can now buy the Karhu Originals Flight Bag.
It was actually made as a sports bag for the 1971 European Athletic Championships in Helsinki, but has since been made into a business bag or laptop case, with two compartments, along with padding for your PC and an adjustable shoulder strap. But the look is exactly the same, complete with the golden skiing bear logo from 1916.
Sized at 38cm x 30 cm x 15 cm and made from vintage helion, you can pick one up online in green and gold for 129 Euros, which is around £90.
On the face of it, this might look like a vintage-style evening bag, but it’s actually something modern – and eco-friendly.
As the name suggests, this Aluminium Ring Pull Bag is made of recycled aluminium ring pulls, specifically by a co-operative of Mexican women. All the tabs are crocheted together and the bags are full lined.
Which makes the bag a talking point as well as a rather stylish accessory. Sized at 16 x 26 x 5cm, you can pick one up for £65.

If you’re not familiar, Sir Terry Frost was an early and influential British abstract artist – and this PVC bag uses a detail from one of his images.
That image is Orchard Tambourine. The bag itself uses just dome of the ‘patches’, printing them onto a cotton drill bag using a hard-wearing PVC coating.
It’s sized at 30 x 34cm, so pretty large. And it’s available from the Royal Academy of Arts for £25.
