Vintage Suitcase



We have been ever so slowly picking up a vintage suitcase here and there. 
So we can...


Stack them...yay boy.


Found the Samsonite one, on the bottom, last Saturday at an estate sale.
 The middle one, my favorite, is not flat sided and makes the stack tilt.


David is keeping a close watch on them for us.

  1. I absolutely adore vintage luggage, and that little set looks lovely stacked on top of one another. Great finds Olive - as usual.

  2. I like the stack of suitcases. I used to have one just like the top one only it was bigger. I had the train case too. Unfortunately I got rid of them years ago.
    Thanks for all your nice comments and for following me.

  6. I love old cases too. Something about how travel was fun way back when. I have seen cases painted before . They look charming, but if it's good leather I would not paint it. Smiles, xo, Susie(She Junks)

  16. I love suitcases...I have a set of three vintage alligator faux skin Samsonite from my husband's grandma which I've never photographed they are super cool and very tiny. I have three or four blue ones under the sewing table (one looks like the twin to your top suitcase). Then there are three under a table in the living room for the girls coloring supplies. I also have several hard toiletry ones around the house holding stuff....

  18. Oh just remembered - there are like six or so of them in Kira's closet holding things like toy food, toy animals, train bits, etc. Wow - I think I've got a problem.

  28. I'm collecting a few like you, and wish mine were flat so they stacked better! They're not rounded, but have a slight angle to them. Still, it's great to have character and storage in one piece!
