Leather Sweet Shop Purse by Natthakur

SweetsThere's nothing quite like a bag of pick & mix, especially if said bag is an old school pink and stripey paper one. However, with this Leather Sweet Shop Purse by Natthakur you're more likely to find actual pennies at the bottom rather than the toffee variety.

This charming little bag captures all the fun of an old fashioned sweet shop, minus the calories. Natthakur have taken the unmistakable retro penny sweets bag and fashioned it out of leather to create a quirky purse to be stuffed with change or other goodies. 

The genuine leather purse is handmade and printed in London and is also available in orange or powder blue. £28 from Not On The High Street. See the website for more details.

Mrs Johnson Wiggle Dress by Hell Bunny

Mrsjohnson

There might be a lot of very demure and oftentimes twee retro fashion floating around. There's always something with a decidedly more edgy take on vintage looks to be found, however, thanks to rockabilly and psychobilly brands like Hell Bunny.

This Mrs Johnson Wiggle Dress combines a modern, punky aesthetic with classic fifties inspiration to create an in your face brand of retro clobber. The wiggle dress shape, with its heart-shaped neckline and halter is cute and classic. At the back, the addition of a corset style lace-up adds something more daring, without forgetting the retro roots of the dress.

It's available online from Soho's for £33.99.
