The company A Touch of Ivy was founded over 17 years ago by Ivy Weitzman, whose designs incorporate her knowledge of fashion with her love of vintage fabrics. Pictured here is her Retro Brown Sky Cosmetics Case which is one of a series of make-up bags from her range.

It is available in a choice of small (6 ¾ " x 5 ¼ ") or medium (9 ½ " x 6 ¾”), with both sized closed with a zipper. They are made from 100% silk charmeuse, in a gorgeous brown, blue and cream print, lined with vinyl.  There is also a Pucci-style print or a green paisley design available.

The small bag costs $22 and the medium $28 and are available to buy from Orange and Pear.

Still on the look out for a weekday bag or shopper with a bit of style? You might want to check out the Etsy site of Sarey Poppins, which includes these rather cool Liberty linen bag.

Glasgow-based Sarey is member of the city's Craft Mafia as well as a member of Belle and Sebastian – busy girl! But she's obviously put some time and thought into these bags, oozing retro charm with that liberty print, which is also on the inside in a contrast colour.

The bag is around 29cm tall, made of 100 per cent cotton and features a 'Sarey Poppins' label in the lining. You can 'bag' one for $45 on Etsy – and while you're there, check out the other designs currently for sale too, all in a similar style.
