Celebrities like Peaches Geldof and Victoria Beckham have been fans of the vanity case for a while, using them not just for holidays but often shunning their everyday bags to tote a retro vanity case about town. At ELLEuk.com we're currently lusting after Lulu Guinness' new, vivid red leather version with lipstick zip charms that lend it a rockabilly edge - we want one NOW! It's just the right size to hold all your beauty holiday essentials, plus it channels a little bit of nautical and a lot of 1950s chic - so we'll be using it all summer for festivals, parties and days in the park.
