Posted on | Leave a comment

Cambridgeyellowsatchel

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.

It's available online from ASOS for £100.

Tapestry Bag from New Look

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.

Penny Girl Dolls from Kiss Her by Bianca Hall

Penny doll
The new range from Kiss Her by Bianca Hall takes its inspiration from Penny Girl dolls. Penny dolls were small dolls made entirely from bisque, mass produced in Germany and Japan from the late 1800s up until about 1930. They were called penny dolls because that was what they usually cost in the sweet shops where they were sold.

This range reproduces images of the dolls onto homewares, initially tea towels and tote bags but soon to be available on cushions and prints too. The photographs are reproduced in bright pinks and purples or like a photographic negative giving a more contemporary look to the very old fashioned subject matter.

The price for the bags start at £8.50 while the tea towels cost £12 each.

Leopard Bayswater Bag by Mulberry

Posted on | Leave a comment

Mulberrybayswater

Leopard print has by now reached near saturation as a retro print choice, but thanks to its lasting appeal across many decades it's going nowhere. While some leopard print items may end up looking more Bet Lynch than Bettie Page (no bad thing, in our opinion), there are plenty which retain that higher end classic look.

This Leopard version of the Bayswater Bag by Mulberry has an undeniable air of luxury about it, with use of a calf hair fabric and sparing gold-look hardware. Making it easier to wear leopard print with everything, the bag is oversized enough to make a big impression, without looking overworn like many dresses and coats can.

It's available in the UK from My Wardrobe, at Mulberry's usual high cost – this time £1650.
