If you’re on the look out for stylish luggage, chances are you’re not going to be popping into Topshop. But that’s actually the place for this Patent 70s luggage range.

Very 70s in terms of colours used – and that shiny plastic look is probably indicative of years gone by too. There’s two items currently available, the Patent 70s trolley suitcase, complete with wheels and extendable pull handle and the Patent 70s vanity case with multiple compartments.

Not badly price either. The suitcase sells for £70, while the vanity case will set you back £40.

In terms of the environment, using masses of plastic bags from the supermarket isn’t a particularly good thing to do. Far better to use something reusable. And if that’s stylish too, all the better. Enter Envirosax.

Envirosax are eco-friendly reusable shopping bags. Each one rolls up to become a lightweight and portable 40g package – small enough to sit in the glove compartment of the car. Even better, they’re both waterproof and durable and come in some smart retro designs, including the Flora Butterflies and Monochromatic Vintage pictured above.

Available online, you can pick one up for £4.95.

I can’t find these on the UK version of the Urban Outfitters site, but you can pick up these Andy Warhol print messenger bags from the company’s US online store.

Both are printed with Warhol graphics, with a choice of the skull or the pistol. They also feature large pockets on the front and back, pockets under the velcro flap and a zip pocket inside. There’s also an adjustable strap.

If you want one, you can pick one up for $48 (around £25).

Looking for some luggage straight out of the 60s? Check out the Angel Jackson Vintage Style Ballet Box.

It’s not dissimilar to a 60s vanity case, only that little bit bigger at 28cm x 32cm. It;s a luxury leather case with satin lining and a small interior mirror. There’s also an adjustable handle and a choice of colours, including the red pictured, plus gold, pale beige and vintage brown.

You can buy one online for £175.
