Another (new) design from the Adidas/Vespa collaboration and for my money, one of the more eye-catching – the Adidas x Vespa retro holdall.

It's a vintage-style holdall in white, mixing both Adidas and Vespa logo detailing (one side for Adidas, one for Vespa), along with handles, detachable shoulder strap, nubs on the bottom to keep it from damage and of course, a large compartment for all your essentials for the weekend, work…whatever.

ASOS currently has them in stock, yours for £50.

Eco-friendly, as well as being a stylish piece of pop art-style design – the Sailcloth bag at the National Maritime Museum.

It's eco because it's been handcrafted from 'retired sails', featuring all of the original characteristics of the particular sail, including reefing eyes, repairs and baton pockets. And as it is based on each sail, each one is unique.

Sized at 70cm x 37cm, you can pick one up for £89 online.

Unlike some car products, this VW Camper Van Washbag is hardly bursting with testosterone, making it a suitable gift for men and women alike.

Available in a choice of sizes, both are fully lined in water resistant fabric and have internal pockets. Of course, its main feature is the cute picture of a camper van on the front of the bag.

The large version costs £12.50, and the smaller one £9.20, both available from Objects of Design.

We really like Waterloo, always worth a look for some well-priced retro fashion and accessories – like this Puro Llave satchel-style shoulder bag.

A typical everyday bag that's ideal for your everyday essentials offering up some retro style with that leather and check fabric mix,  complete with a metal fastener to keep everything safe and a large leather strap for your shoulder.

See the website for some close-up images, with a price of just £28.

Take this image of a crying woman as a reminder to carry a make-up bag with you at all times, just in case you need to unexpectedly touch-up your look. Handy then that she adorns an eye catching cosmetics bag design that's inspired by DC Comics. The graphic look is a striking change from the girlie floral designs so often used for such bags and is backed with a superhero inspired bronze material. 

If you want some good news to help soothe a broken heart, this bag measures a substantial 18cm by just over 10cm so has plenty of room to carry about your cosmetics (and emotional baggage?). 

The bag costs just $8 from the Fred Flare website
