Amongst the current seventies trend sweeping the high street, it's accessories like bags and shoes that have really hit the mark for retro lovers. While some footwear designs are exaggerated and over the top, these Strappy Tan Sandals from Matalan are a truer interpretation of vintage seventies style.

The slight platform and chunky heel create an ideal base for the crossed straps and t-bar design of the uppers. In a rich brown shade of faux leather, this pair have the combination of colour palette and sturdy design that really speaks of the 1970s.

This Spotty Dress from Peacocks' By Design range takes a late fifties/early sixties aesthetic and keeps thigns simple and classic. The sleeveless bodice balances out a full pleated skirt, carrying the large polka dot pattern with ease. Finishing touches like a vintage-look brooch and ribbon waist add sparkle without making this piece too dressy for the sunshine.

Ok, we briefly saw (as it sold it in no time) a reverse colourway of the Adidas London in black a couple of weeks back, now something very different has dropped – the Adidas London in brown suede.

It's still faithful to the profile of the original Adidas London, a slimline trainer with gum sole and perforated tongue, only this one has gone all brown on us – for the suede upper, the leather detailing, even that tongue and gum sole.

Certain to fly out, so get in quick, a pair retails for £54.99.

It's not often that a hot item in magazines like Italian Vogue ticks all the boxes for Retro To Go as well, but that's most certainly the case with these Cambridge Satchels. The company's new bag ranges are set to become something of a cult favourite, and with looks and craftsmanship like these it's easy to see why.

Made in a variety of sizes and colours, each satchel uses thick, great quality leather to make bags every bit as sturdy as the classroom classics of old. Shown above are a classic brown 14" version and the quirkier red 11" – ideal for men or women, these are an investment well worth making.

Now available online from Bohemia, they retail from £75 (decidedly cheaper than the £88 Urban Outfitters are asking).
