Sergio Tacchini Put Their Casual Stamp on the Classic 80s Sports Bag With the Railton Holdall
Channel all that Casual charm of the original leather sports bags of the 1980s with the Sergio Tacchini Railton Holdall which now arrives at 80s Casual Classics.
It's probably fair to say that leather sports bags were absolutely massive in the 1980s. You only have to watch an old Grange Hill episode from 1984 or look at some original pics of Casuals waiting at a Continental train station waiting to go all "transalpino". As sportswear became a force of nature thanks to subcultures, sporting icons & work-out videos, not only did you need a sporty track top, but also a bag to match. Brands like adidas, Head & Gola were all go-to brands when it came to school & gyms bags with the multi-functional accessory just as good for packing textbooks in as it was for an overnight footy trip in Turin. Channelling all that Casual charm of the original leather sports bags of the 1980s, Sergio Tacchini have come up trumps with this very latest Railton Holdall which now arrives at its spiritual home for August 2026.

Held in high regard by the original Casuals for its style driven 'Made in Italy' designs & premium price tag, Sergio Tacchini was one of the biggest sportswear brands of the 1980s. Endorsed by a new breed of tennis rock 'n' roll stars like John McEnroe, the Italian label became just as big off centre court, famed for its subtle detailing such as stripes, funnel collars & the iconic ST logo. As sportswear & brands like Sergio Tacchini & Fila became something like the equivalent of Supreme & BAPE to the streetwear scene in the 90s, the Casuals took in these elitist brands as their own.
