Goodordering backpack

Designed in London and based on retro travel bags, this backpack designed by Jacqui Ma is a mix between modern and the retro. It has a separate padded laptop compartment and a huge array of pockets on the front of the bag and inside. The main compartment opens up really wide to make it easy to get things in and out. It comes in four colours - maroon, forest green, rusty orange and chestnut brown.

VINTAGE SPORTS

Vintage sports is making a come back. I've been looking at the archives of old school sports brands lately, and here are a few nice ones. They are surprisingly hard to find actually.

HELLO KITTY RUCKSACK

Love hello kitty. I went to the Hello Kitty x Zatchels press day yesterday in London and now i have hello kitty on my mind.

GHONGJORD BAGS

I have discovered this new bag brand which i really love. their website is amazing cool and clean too. I am jealous of this company! they do some nice stuff.

Take this simple ruck sack for example. it is clean and sharp and it looks very comfortable. Its the perfect balance between fashion and function. It also has a bit of a 70s flavour about it.

I really also love that it has nice shiny brass hardware and a nice structured back handle to grab it by and sling over one shoulder. I thought the brand name sounded a bit chinese and i was right, it is a buddhist saying which is about something sustainabity - check it out yourself on their website: http://ghongjord.com

I think it is a japanese, germany based designer. Talk about some nice design genes!

VINTAGE LEATHER BRIEF CASE

I like the look of this vintage leather brief case. Its simple but ticks all the boxes of that vintage variety. The simple corner re-enforcements have a slightly elongated and elegant shape and the radius' are just right. Its another winner from etsy i just stumbled upon looking for something entirely different. I'm glad etsy is based in brooklyn otherwise i would be broke with a room full of bags.

ULTRA LIGHT NYLON BAG

Colour blocked bag in ultra light weight materials. Moving away from the heavy traditional satchels and things we are seeing now, sports is the new vintage.

JEANS BAGS

Some denim bags thanks to Mister Mort for your viewing pleasure. I love the unpretentiousness of this bag mixed with a fair dose of cool.

THE 90s

Did you have a stud machine in the 90s? I didn't. But i wish i had. I'm not sure why but this bag takes me back to the era of DIY decoration, the be-dazzler and such. The ultra cool, new thing about it is the wierd orderly fashion in which these little studs are arranged. It makes me imagine that some designer had received a swatch card of available studs and embellishments from the factory in china and decided to re-create the level of excitement faced when one comes across a sample swatch card.


Its like a little fishing tackle box where you have all your hooks and flies arranged in the little compartments OR some kind of wierd board game where you have to collect a certain number of stars or dome studs in order to progress to the next level.

Either way, this bag makes me feel happy. Happy in order. Happy in options. Happy in 90s embellishments.

THE FORMAL BUM BAG

So we've had the sporty bum bag and here is the formal bum bag - characterized primarily by the oh-so-sophisticated use of material - namely snakeskin.


I predict the snakeskin / sporty combination as the next big thing in bum bags /fanny packs. They are already fairly dorkus so why not go the whole hog.


Combined with a floral shirt... apparently anything goes.


And all you designers out there- if you are not sure whether you choice in snakeskin is formal enough, just add a bow tie.

FLAT RED BAG

I just found this bag on etsy, I like its simplicity and straight-forwardness. It reminds me of a bag i had when i was a little girl. I also like how it is photographed. If you want to buy it, it might still be on etsy, seller id: GardenourLeather

MOSCHINO IS BACK

Moschino is back. The 90s are back. Full throttle.
