I love the history of vintage suitcases.
Battered and bruised, each one tells a story.

Originating from the 1970s, this suitcase is well travelled and shows signs of wear and tear, with a few scuffs consistent with its age.
Overall, it is in very good vintage condition, with the only noticeable marks being some cracking around the lower rim, but this adds to its vintage charm.

The perfect shape for a pet bed, this vintage suitcase would add a touch of groovy seventies charm to any home.

PLEASE NOTE:
As the lid has been gently padded on the inside it is now a decorative feature of the pet bed.
This means the suitcase can no longer be completely closed, as this would damage the decorative edging.
