Travel in Style!
Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 2:07PM The style, the luxury, the glamour! Yes, I also have an obsession with vintage suitcases. Although I haven't allowed myself to purchase one because I'm currently on a budget, I'll share some beauties with you girls! But I think I will, at some point, have to give in.

I am also in love with vintage suitcases - and, like you, am on a budget which means I cannot afford one :(
Thanks for sharing these beauties though, they're a bit like my guilty pleasure. One day, however, I will get off a flight with one and look all Jackie-O. One day...

Funnily enough I wrote a blog post with the same title yesterday without seeing this post before now!
I also love vintage suitcases, I dream of travelling by train with a vintage suitcase and hat box, wearing pretty clothes and knowing I'm going somewhere nice.
I adore vintage suitcases, I have quite a collection. I have to be a bit odd though, I love the musty smell they give your clothes!
Love this blog, only just found you, adding to my favs!
I adore every single one that you posted! I want to get a few and stack them kind of like the red ones to make a little end table....maybe it'd work.
Ahh, I love vintage suitcases. I wish they were easier to travel with these days- the last time I flew with one it was ruined by the baggage handlers!
Charlotte Tea: I hope that one day comes soon for you Charlotte!
A red lipstick: Oh I would love to travel by train one day. Maybe the Maharaja Express or on The Royal Scotsman. Ah that would be lovely!
suzie chaney: You lucky girl! Thanks Suzie!
Starr Crow: That's a great idea! Please let me see the results when you're done.
LauraKitty: They do tend to roughly throw around the luggage! that's to bad...
Love, Betsy.
