Ok, it's not exactly re-inventing the wheel, but if you want an everyday or weekend bag with some retro style, you might want to check out the Adidas Adicolor vintage airline bag.
It's a slight reworking of the classic flight bag, with a large compartment for your weekend essentials, an additional zipped pocket, adjustable strap and all that classic Adidas detailing.
Three original colours to choose from, all selling for £39.
Original Little Bird is a Norwich based company, who as well as producing their own fabric design, make lovely bags from vintage fabrics. While this isn't an innovative concept in itself, the bags are well finished with a taffeta lining and have a simple zip fastening so manage to avoid looking too cutesy. Their greatest strength is the fabrics used which date from the 1950s and 1960s and are all bold and striking.
Vanity cases are still a must have essential for travel, but they aren't always as attractive as they once were. With fifties and sixties styling, retro cases can serve as gorgeous luggage or even double as a handbag.
This Paradise Vanity Case from Ollie & Nic features a cute tropical print that conjures up an exotic pinup style. In a classic, bubbly shape, the case is practical too thanks to sturdy construction. A mirror and pockets in the lining make it ideal for girls on the go.
It's now in the sale for 50% off at just £12.50.
Sailor style tattoos are one of the many instant markers of the rockabilly looks of fifites lovers. But for those of us not quite ready for skin commitment, this Rock Rebel Tattoo Flash Bag has plenty of kitschy charm.
Emblazoned with all over tattoo print on a vintage white backdrop, this hobo style shape is simple and practical. Perfect for an instantly recognisable badass fifties touch, the black vinyl sides and handle finish this off well. There's only a limited number in stock, though, so move fast on this one.

Collectible retro pieces come in all shapes and sizes, and tin lunchboxes are often some of the most interesting. Combining film art with a true vintage piece of homeware, this Wizard of Oz Lunchbox is well worth a look.
With a classic dome top tin construction, the plastic handle and clip front make this easily passable as a vintage collectible. Finished in a bold and colourful design straight from the vintage film posters, this goes beyond being a portable sandwich box to becoming true retro art.
