Pink_bag

There's no better way to update your look for spring than with a fresh new handbag and this sugared-almond pink confection ticks all the right boxes.

It's a good size with a couple of pockets inside to organise all your bits and bobs and a handy shoulder strap. The real appeal however, is in the gorgeous pink patent embellishment which stands out in relief in a geometric art deco design. Visible stitching and polished metal detailing on the handle help to give a luxe-feel that will get you set for the new season.

It costs £39.99 from River Island

For an instant shot of sixties looks, a well chosen colour palette can often be key. This Mustard Contrast Satchel from Topshop uses a great pairing of vintage shades in a leather look bag that has plenty of retro appeal.

The tapered, sloping sides add a sixties look to the classic satchel, creating a shape that has all the sharp and angular appeal of the decade's aesthetic. The use of mustard and rich brown faux leather together adds to the impact of a design that's instantly recognisable as a nod to timeless vintage looks.

It's available now from Topshop for £32.

Billie Leather Shoulder Bag by Chloé

Billiebag

Satchels are undeniably mainstream bag designers' latest love affair, leaning heavily on vintage inspiration in most cases. Pieces like this Billie Shoulder Bag by Chloé offer a chic reinterpretation of 20th century ideas, without losing that key retro appeal.

Made from panels of tan leather and heritage-look linen fabric, the sharp structure of this bag is accented by black trim. The resulting lines and shape are reminiscent of a classic sixties satchel, while the unconventional use of fabrics adds an interesting new dimension.

It's available now in the UK for £875 from Net-a-Porter.

Golden Girls Tote Bag

Etsy has thrown up some wonderful items, but seller HutchMe has some of the oddest, as her obsession with 1980s pop culture inspires many of her products, such as this Golden Girls Tote Bag.

The natural colour bag features a graphic print of the four ladies on the front, in a choice of either purple, turquoise blue, gold or pink. Not the most credible reference, admittedly, but it made me smile and I’d be more likely to buy this than one of her Phil Collins cushions! The bags cost $18 (a bit over £11) from Etsy.
