Very smart and very eco-friendly – this camera bag from ecocentric is handmade from vintage leather belts.
Not a million miles away from an old Super 8 camera case, this bag is made from good quality leather belts that should age and improve in appearance the longer you own it. The strap is adjustable to wear over the shoulder or across the body, while the inside of the bag is lined with moleskin, except for the pocket, which is lined with vintage silk tie fabric.
Note that all are unique, so your bag might differ slightly from the picture. It retails for £239.

When you think retro fashion, you don’t instantly think of Muji. But amazingly, the store currently stocks these incredibly retro-styled Velour Round Pouch bags.

Available now for £12 and £17 respectively.
