Looking for something eco-friendly with a bit of heritage? You need this recycled London Transport cloth shopper from Rennies Seaside Modern.

Yes, as you can probably tell, the bag, which is sized at 14 inches x 11 inches, is made of vintage (but unused) District Line moquette, along with a leather shoulder strap for carrying.

And it’s been made in very small numbers – so if you get one, chances are that no-one else you know will have one. The bag retails for £65.

Dorothy Perkins has teamed up with the Woodland Trust for a range of clothing and accessories, with a percentage from each item going to the charity for its tree-growing plans.

We like this Plant More Trees shopper, with its 70s-style nature design on a turquoise organic cotton bag.

It costs just £6 – and £1.50 of that goes to the charity. Just £5 allows the Woodland Trust to plant a tree – so if four of you buy one, that’s a little extra greenery on the planet.

Yesterday we featured the London Transport Canteens mug from W2. But that’s not all in the collection, there’s allsorts of vintage-styled products available, including this London Underground shopping bag.

The design is taken from a 1909 Underground sign over the entrance to Baker Street tube station, while the bag is made of cotton drill with a pvc coating to house the screen-printed image.

Ideal if you want a solid ‘shopper’ instead of more plastic bags in the house, it retails for £10.

We have featured similar items before, but this Ghetto Blaster bag has really caught our eye because of the attention to detail – you just want to stick a cassette in it!

It’s a lined holdall, complete with small inside pocket and a size of around 30cm x 45cm, so plenty of room for your weekend gear. It’s also got a detachable shoulder strap as well as the usual handle.

Available online, it’s yours for £29.99.
