These vintage cases fit into so many design styles. British Empire, Tribal, Retro, Shabby chic ( with a wash of paint), boho, even modern industrial. Any wonder they are so hard to come by! I need some, you probably do too.

When roof beams have stored old suitcases and collected dust through generations Timeless quality genuine leather, with respect for craft // The faithful suitcase was packed They hide secrets about unknown journeys With salt water in the blood vessels, aboard on the steamship Smell of pipe tobacco and salted fish in barrels // The faithful suitcase was packed Throw the anchor, arranged with ropes and the steam engine Check the wind and the weather ... the fog is coming They suppressed fear and headed for the open sea // The faithful suitcase was packed What do you have in your luggage An antelope that was caught with lasso ? A collection of old love poems ... words from heart There and then, life was more important than gold // The faithful suitcase was packed 27.01.2020 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Have one of those suitcases with my poems in it. Given by a friend to keep my papers together. Often we find treasures we forgot we put in them. Nicely written. love phyl

What a beautiful topic you chose to write about dear soul sister, there would be gems in that suitcase, or any one like it, that was packed faithfully and lovingly, so dusty and an old leathery look, mystery's divulged. Love it, Kudos my friend. Blessings, Jennifer.

i like the train of your thoughts... we all have those little things we hold on to that mean something to us, but when we are gone they let others see to the importance of what we packed away... beautiful expression...i love this... hugs

Wow, this was amazing my friend. Our lives packed away for another to find when we are gone...what will it say about us. This was really good.
