Leopard Joanie Handbag from Fred Flare
Strong prints and bold textural fabrics are always a great way for designers to inject some obvious vintage inspiration into their pieces, but these can often be the choices that are hardest to wear in clothing.

Lilly Faux Fur Cape from Boohoo
The welcome return of the cape to mainstream outerwear ranges has mainly focused on a mid-sixties interpretation. Channeling a later style, this Lilly Faux Fur Cape from Boohoo brings a cool crossover from sixties to seventies inspiration.
Rebecca Box Coat from Monsoon
As often happens in fashion, the least practical items are usually the most appealing. Thankfully with high street prices you can forgive yourself the indulgence, especially with pieces as irresistably retro as this Rebecca Box Coat from Monsoon.
Crocodile Brooch Clutch from River Island
Original vintage clothing and accessories can often pose something of a moral dilemma for consumers, with the frequent use of ethically dubious materials. Thankfully for lovers of the look and not the methods, there's pieces to be found that successfully fake it like this Crocodile Brooch Clutch from River Island.
The use of a deep green faux crocodile fabric, along with a rich brown faux leather, creates a real vintage shop luxury. The addition of a gold crocodile brooch to the clasp is a cheeky little detail with a glamorous and edgy feel, ideal for mid-20th century style.
It's available now from River Island for £24.99.
