I just know that I NEED

I love vintage suitcases, much to the puzzlement of my lovely boy.  Why buy something that is too delicate (and MUCH too heavy) to use with my personal air chauffeurs, Ryanair?? OK, he has a point.

So, to the drawing board.  I need an old suitcase that is (1) in great condition and, (2), has a practical purpose.

And HURRAH!  Look what I found myself!  How can he say no?! (answer - in about a thousand different ways!).  Alas, the seller is no longer on etsy, and no amount of googling will find them.  But until VanityCase resurfaces on etsy, I can but dream.

and wouldn't this be a delightful compromise? (and oh so beautiful to take to the park on a summer's day)
