For this week’s Vintage Item of the Week we are ditching both menswear and womenswear for a bit of unisex. Unisex accessories to be more precise, in the shape of this retro flight bag. It is a genuinely nice bag in a classic design which, without wanting to venture too far into fashion cliche, you could dress up or down. Perfect for the new semester at uni, or for work, or for going out, for taking a picnic, for a very easy paper round, for crown green bowling… The list goes on! Click here to buy it – only £12 and free postage to the UK.

Just too cool. I think if you put this track top on your sideburns would automatically grow a couple of inches (so don’t try this at home, girls!). This is so 1970s. It is available in a host of other colours too, priced £60. Click here to buy it from Hip Leeds.

Oh! We just keep rolling them out. The high street keep chucking them up and we keep batting them out of the park. This time it’s the Topshop Liberty Flower Print Dress priced at £50. Alternatively, there is Retro Flower’s very own Green and White Floral Day Dress which is half the price at £25 and much better looking (even if we do say so ourselves). Click here to buy it.

We take on the high street once again. This time it’s those big, bad bullies from Warehouse. These two dresses are almost identical, including having the same neckline. Granted ours is in white with navy check and theirs is grey with white check, but other than that they are very similar. Of course, the other area in which they differ is the price tag. The one on the left is £25, the one on the right is £55. Click here to buy the Retro Flower option.

Nice and varied women’s knitwear is more difficult to come by than it should. There are more batwings than you could shake a stick at, but classy items like this v-neck jumper are fewer and further between. It is in grey with a brown and navy pattern and is 100% wool. The model loved this so much that we had a battle to get the jumper on the site at all! If you want it before the model gets it, click here to buy. It is just £15 and that includes free postage to the UK.

High street chains and vintage lovers alike can’t get enough of Western shirts at the minute and they do not come much better than this. This shirt was still in its original packaging when we got hold of it. We think originally it was intended for a boy, but what do you know: it’s a perfect size 10 fit. Never been worn and just £15. If you find one in better nick for that price let us know (and we will buy it!). Click here to buy it.
