Sadly, not a working vintage typewriter, but still a talking point – the Kate Spade 'All Typed Up Clyde' crossbody satchel.

It's a very eye-catching retro-styled bag, made of light textured leather, with patent leather handles, an optional strap and of course, featuring those keys, which you want to reach out and press, even on the picture.

Finished off with an exterior zip-around pocket, several interior pockets and a custom jacquard lining, it sells at Nordstrom for $495, or if you are in the UK, £326.47. No, quirky doesn't come cheap in this case.
