Case in point.
(beesparkle)

I love vintage suitcases, don't you? SO much better than the boring suitcases we have now... I did a wee little photoshoot with a friend yesterday that involved a vintage suitcase and I do have to say they are quite photogenic too :)

I love them too! I've had a little grey one that I wanted to customize, but a little while back I was lucky enough to find this huge antique brown leather one with... initials! I was so thrilled!

Love this post<3

A few months ago I found some vintage suitcases of my grandmothers packed away in the garage. They're definitely one of my fave finds!

They are definitely a lot of fun to take photos with.

I have an old red vintage suitcase that I have had for years! I actually keep it packed at all times in case my bf and I have any kind of spur-of-the-moment road trip. :)

I completely agree! They have so much more character than the new ones, should love to get my hands on a pale blue carry on vintage suitcase!

vintage suitcases are charming, if I didnt pack so much junk I would carry them around more but as it is I need wheels under my case

My favorite suitcase is vintage (except I've never really thought of it as vintage--just really, really old)! It's a blue one exactly like the one in your 3rd photo. I can always manage to cram everything I want in it, too. :)

Adorable Blog! ♥

No doubt! :) They're gorgeous. They probably were too heavy to carry around though. :P
