Some time ago we featured the Paul Smith 80s-style Ghetto Blaster bag, which looked the part, but carried a hefty £190 price tag. This Ghetto Blaster weekend bag is much more affordable.
Made of a durable vinyl, it packs that ghetto blaster design on the front, as well as featuring a removable/adjustable shoulder strap, plenty of space for your essentials and a separate space for your mobile phone.
All of that for $54 (around £27).

French Connection‘s bags are a great example of just such finds, with a few timeless pieces at a fraction of the original price.
This pair are the most authentically retro of the sale range, though there is a surprising number of styles which pay homage to fashion scenes of yesteryear.
The Retro Bag and Stripe Purse (left to right) cost £20 and £7.20 respectively.

Available online, you can pick one up for £35.

Still not been away on holiday? Well, you’re in luck – firstly because you still have time to pick up this Billy Bag Helen beach bag and secondly, because it’s now been reduced.
Very much a 1970s theme going on here, from the shiny vinyl body through to the bold circular design used for detailing. Indeed, that same design is also used for the canvas purse that’s thrown in too – sitting inside your bag for storing your bits and pieces.
Take your pick from some suitably retro colours too, with each bag selling for £38.50 (down from a previous £55).
