If you were to ask me about my greatest travel-related dreams, I would tell you that they'd involve looking terribly glamorous, would come with First Class tickets, would resemble something out of an Agatha Christie novel (minus the murders) and - most importantly - would be facilitated by a luxurious looking collection of vintage Louis Vuitton luggage.
Of course, LV luggage is out of the current price range of this budget vintage lover; but I still love the romantic notions of old fashioned luggage (and having a handsome gentleman to carry them for me, of course!).
This vintage-inspired set of three suitcases is a little bit more budget friendly at just under $200. I love the neutral chocolate with light brown trim and the aged-looking hardware, and I think they'd look wonderfully luxurious to travel with, but equally lovely as a decorative touch to your home.
If you're in the market, they're available from Target.
You described it in such a romantic way... :)
Obviously we don't have to kill ourselves to have an original vintage luggage (although second hand is becoming much more affordable). But all those "vintage style" suitcases are also beautiful, even maybe more suitable nowadays, because the old times will not come back, we can only try to spice up the present time with beautiful and romantic gadgets...
