Aurore Leather Holdall by Chloé

Aurore

With designer bags often pushing towards very modern design, there's little in the way of simple and classic luggage available from many high end brands. Once in a while a gem crops up, though, like this Aurore Leather Bag from Chloé.

With a design that's uncomplicated by too many zips and details, the bowling shape has a great mid-sixties feel. The real tan leather provides a lasting look and sturdy shape, while short top handles and gold hardware keep it classic too. Just masculine enough for a mod look, this is a rare piece with luxury craftsmanship.

Get it now from Net-a-Porter for £1075.

Reworked Vintage Accessories by Shara Porter

Sharaporter

With vintage shopping it can be a challenge to find good quality and great looks in one place, without endless hours of trawling through rails. If you're into vintage craftsmanship with a quirky twist, the hand reworked accessories from Shara Porter might just be the answer.

With the tagline 'Hand Printed Fine Found Objects', the mission statement is self explanatory. Porter has an eye for a great bag, and adds her own twist in a subtle and retro-flavoured fashion too. Each bag is a one off, allowing for much of the appeal of vintage to stay intact, while the added prints can often spruce up accessories that were once nothing more than ordinary.
