Sometimes it's the most simplistic and versatile items that become wardrobe favourites, especially when it's a stylish accessory you can turn to almost any outfit. This cool, sixties inspired Box Bag from New Look is a piece that could become an everyday essential, and at a price which belies its good looks.
The rounded box bag structure has a great retro feel, toeing the line between sharp lines and a more youthful appeal like so many sixties designs. The use of a mustard shade of faux leather, along with the gold chain strap and hardware, keeps the vintage colour palette in place too.
It's now available from New Look for just £15.99.
As you know, dear readers, we do love to spoil you and today is no exception. Not only have we shown you a fabulous Swimsuit but here we have it's perfect poolside partner.
Jonathan Adler, one of our favourite retro devotees, has taken inspiration from the luxurious Italian Riviera to create this Capri Duchess bag. Roomy enough for everything you'll need to spend an afternoon luxuriating in the sunshine, the bag features a striking 60s font with a few of Adler's signature motifs on the front and inside. A flawless finishing touch for any self-respecting retro jet setter.
$178 from the Jonathan Adler website.
It's made in very limited numbers in Japan, it's made by Comme des Garcons and it has the Fab Four's official stamp on it. You just know this Comme des Garcons x The Beatles clothing and accessories range isn't going to come cheap.
But if you love the band and like a bit of exclusivity, it could be for you. The range includes Apple / The Beatles-branded t-shirts, polo shirts and a rather pricey, but very eye-catching transparent tote bag, which you can see over the page.
But the most interesting design is this reworked Comme des Garçons x The Beatles Spring Court plimsoll. We have featured the originals in the past, which were popular with '60s mods and worn by John Lennon on the cover of Abbey Road. The new version has both the Apple and Beatles logos, plus the exclusivity of course. However, this limited edition is almost three times the price of the basic version at £110, so maybe for the hardcore fan only.
