Somewhere in time...

I like vintage and vintage-looking luggage. Hat boxes, tapestry material, train cases -- anything and everything Audrey Hepburn (or Carrie Bradshaw for that matter) would have carried.

The Samsonite Black Label Vintage Collection makes my heart beat fast. People do not normally see Samsonite as a fashion brand - when you say Samsonite, we think of boring black luggage. Durable, yes, but  definitely unexciting.

This collection completely changes my perception. Released years ago, in 2006 I think, but looks timeless. Isabella Rosellini was the spokesperson for this collection.


Like they say -  the devil is in the details. I love the studs. Note that the lining of these luggage items are made of the same material as the matching pouch. Each item also comes with leather luggage tag and a clochette to hold the keys. Perfect.

What about French1946? Every baghag well-versed in vintage Vuitton knows that the French Company (based in the USA, not France!) used to produce bags for LV back in the day. The company still produces luggage and small items. And the quality is still superb. And oh yes, tapestry! Love, love, love.

Here is the 12 inch sacoche in my favorite pattern, Grey Rose. Does the shape look familiar?

Now if only I had the money to travel.
