Chapman Flyfisher Bag

Posted on | Leave a comment

Chapman

A bag that comes with a heritage, but still looks hip in the modern era – the Chapman Flyfisher Bag.

A great heritage piece that's made in a small factory in Cumbria, the Flyfisher Bag is made of canvas and leather with brass detailing, complete with adjustable shoulder strap, a large storage compartment on the inside and two smaller front pockets. That inner pocket should have room for your laptop if you want to give it a very modern modern use.

It's made and hand-finished in the UK (as you might have gathered) and comes in three colour options, all selling for £125.

Drop Scones Not Bombs Bag

Posted on | Leave a comment

DSNB

The Drop Scones Not Bombs slogan is a nice variation on Make Tea Not War which itself is a very British twist on the Make Love Not War motto of the 60s protest movement.

Here it is printed onto an organic unbleached cotton tote bag, which includes a pin badge and a recipe for making the traditional northern delicacy of drop scones. In keeping with the peace-loving slogan, the design incorporates the CND logo as well as a picture of a drop scone.

The bag costs £10 from Hunkydory Home.

Buco 1950s helmet bag produced once more in limited numbers

Buco

It's a stunning item, but the Buco 1950s helmet bag will set you back a serious amount of cash.

Originally designed for bike riders from the 1950s to the 1970s to carry helmets (as you might have guessed), it can be used for that today or indeed, double up as a very hip weekend bag. It's been remade for the Japanese market in steer hide, with talon zippers, a nylon lining and inner pockets and in very limited numbers, a smaller number of which have made it to the UK.

Two colourways available, each selling for £345.

Modesty Blaise laptop case by ChiLidog Design

Posted on | 1 Comment

Modesty1

You might recall the very cool Modesty Blaise suitcases we featured earlier this year. Well, there's now a matching piece for your portable PC – the Modesty Blaise laptop case by ChiLidog Design.

Like the cases, the laptop bag is inspired by artwork from cult 1960s comic strip Modesty Blaise, the work of Peter O'Donnell, although it was illustrated by Jim Holdaway. I say 'inspired' because the signature actually says 'Romero', which is more than a little confusing. Anyway, the retro-styled artwork is front and back, as well forming the design of the lining.

Choose from two sizes of bag, both made of highly durable neoprene to keep your computer safe. It's priced from £33.48. See over the page for the reverse image.

eBay watch: Original 1970s Pan Am shoulder bag

Posted on | 1 Comment

Panam

Yes, you can find copies and reissues, but this is an original 1970s Pan Am shoulder bag – and original is always best.

Described as '100% old vintage original', it is sold in 'above average condition', with any wear from storage rather than use. The zip (which works) has the PAA Logo on it and the shape is certainly distinctive, complete with what looks like an extendable strap.

Cheap enough too – just £1.29 right now.

Retro Print Pollyanna Bag by Lulu Guinness

Lulupollyanna

There are a handful of prints that, while still in fashion circulation regularly, retain something of their retro roots in almost every incarnation. Often the easiest way to inject patterns like nautical stripes or animal print into your wardrobe is with accessories, like this Pollyanna Clutch Bag from Lulu Guinness.

The simple clutch structure provides a perfect vehicle for the two bold designs, creating timeless pieces without over detailing. The higher end leopard print choice is made from quality leather, while the striped version is made from a light polyester fabric, taking the price into a more affordable range. Each bag is just sizeable enough to carry all, while retaining some dainty femininity.

Get the leopard print version and the striped option from My Wardrobe online, retailing at £425 and £175 respectively.
