When I think of luggage with retro looks, I always think first of Globetrotter. But there are other options – like the Alstermo Bruk Atlas range.

Alstermo Bruk has been making and selling luggage with its patented Amo-fiber (for strength without weight) since 1895, with the Alstermo Atlas range offering those vintage looks, handmade production, a wood frame, numbered brass plate, cloth lining and leather trimming.

Take your pick from a variety of colours ranging from the conservative to the bold, with cases ranging from an attaché through to a large suitcase with wheels. Prices start at 325 Euros per piece – expensive, but likely to be the only luggage you’ll never need to buy.

Yes, even more Keep Calm and Carry On merchandise. No doubt you’re bored to tears with the story behind it, but judging by the amount of product around still appearing, there’s still some mileage in the design. And the latest product featuring it is the Keep Calm and Carry On retro flight bag.

Going for that original airline bag shape, it offers a seven-litre capacity, an adjustable strap and two zip pockets – the main storage area and an extra side pocket. And there’s a few colours to choose from – including this eye-catching yellow and green.

Available in limited quantities for each colour, it retails for £20.

Looking for a spot of nostalgia for your childhood? You might find it with these retro-styled Raleigh Chopper bags.

Both retail for £24.95.
