As much as I love the look of old-fashioned typewriters and the idea of bashing out my magnum opus on one, I don’t think I’d give up the convenience of the computer. So the closest I’ll get to one of those old machines is where their image adorns another product, such as this Typewriter Tote Bag.

Designed by The Bold Banana, the picture of vintage typewriter has been screenprinted in black ink onto a natural canvas tote.

It costs a very reasonable $8 plus $3.50 postage (less if you are in Canada or the USA). It is available to buy from The Bold Banana’s Etsy store.

We haven't featured anything Rubik's Cube-related for a while, perhaps because the whole thing is  a bit overplayed. Then we we saw this Rubik's Cube handbag and we just had to feature it.

A great piece of 80s-style nostalgia, the box bag is made of polyurethane and is around 15cm square, with a zipped top and chain handle for some eye-catching detail.

Looks to be US-only (unless you know better), selling for a ridiculously cheap $18 (around £12).

Slightly more high-end than a lot of the totes we show you, the Silly Thing vintage camera tote bag is certainly a stylish way to carry your kit.

New for spring/summer 2009, the bag (as you can see) offers up a design featuring an old school camera both front and bag, with some large text added to the front and the 'think silly' line on the back.

Finished off with a pair of sturdy black handles, you can pick up this hefty bag for just over £109 from Colette.

Some time back, we featured a reusable bag from Schuh with an Adidas trainer design. It must have been successful as the company has launched another retro-styled design – the Schuh eco-friendly Cassette bag.

Designed to cut down on your plastic bag usage, the new Cassette design features (as you can guess) a large image of a cassette, sturdy construction and some lengthy handles so you can carry on your shoulder.

And it's cheap – just £1.99. Although you might have to hunt around for it, Schuh has informed us that the bag is not going to be sold online, but is being sold at 29 of the company's 54 stores.

Adidas says that its Vintage Sports Holdall is straight out of the archives- and we're safely assuming that archive was sometime in the early 80s.

It's still a solid and distinctive bag almost 30 years on, with all the original Adidas logos on both the body and zips, some suede detailing, a detachable shoulder strap and enough capacity for a weekend away.

You can pick one up online, priced at £59.
