It seems that satchels are the bag choice of the moment for hip dressers, leaning heavily on a variety of retro eras to create bold accessories. The Cambridge Satchel Company keep coming up with flawless designs, including this kitschy Yellow 15" Satchel.

With an almost cartoonishly bright yellow leather shade, the bag has a truly mid-sixties quality that is enhanced by the simplicity of the structure. The contrasting navy tabs and uncluttered schoolbag style keep this sharp and chic.

Raindrops

Who says we're not topical? As rain pours across most of the UK, the word 'umbrella' isn't far from anyone's lips. This Raindrops Keep Falling Paisley Umbrella comes with an added bonus – a cool retro twist.

It's a 1960s-inspired number, not just with that clear dome shape (designed to give a maximum protection, along with maximum visibility), but also with that period paisley pattern – certain to turn some heads, even in a torrential downpour.

OK, by the time you get one, it might have stopped raining. But if you experience similar weather to us, the next downpour is never far away. Available online, it sells for $29.99.

Tapestry

Embroidery, tapestry and needlepointed fabrics were not long ago confined to the houses of our grandparents and the back room of the charity shop. Taking back the best parts of these often-forgotten design techniques, retro fashion has embraced it in pieces like this Tapestry Bag from New Look.

The classic shape of the handbag, including a clip frame and loose metallic strap, lets the intricate fabric shine against its simplicity. With a floral tapestry design, the bag has added texture along with a truly vintage look that's easy to pair with a wide variety of styles.

It's available now from New Look for a discounted price of just £9.74.
