What Inspires Me: Vintage Luggage

Vintage luggage is super versatile and super inexpensive. Some pieces (without keys and slight damage) can be found for under $15.

{Green} Etsy Tuesday: Vintage Luggage

I'm still thinking about vintage luggage for our mini-moon. So here are some of my finds for today's Etsy Tuesday. I chose sets that would work for traveling and some that would be cute storage options (remember my train case collection?).

Planning a Mini-Moon: Vintage Luggage

As we're getting ready to head out for our mini-moon in a couple of weeks, I'm thinking luggage not purses on this Thursday. I mean seriously how cute would it be for me to arrive in my day dress, hat and gloves complete with vintage luggage?

Set of 6 matching pieces, $200, from The Green Coyote

Set of 3 matching pieces by Samsonite, $145, from  HolliezHobbiez

Vintage luggage pieces can be a lot more reasonable in cost than new. And they look better than the freebie carry-on and duffel bag I'm currently using.
