    The picture of the yellow beautify case reminds me when I was little. I dreamed of having a "beauty case", very very 50'ties, seen not only in Hollywood movies but also over at my aunt and godmother that I admired very much. But I grew out of that ... however I love suitcases, bags, chests ... Love this post!

    Excess baggage...I need to be dressed for every possible occasion or event when I go on holiday...because you never know who you will meet...so I travel with plenty of luggage...and I check it, not drag it onto the plane.

    I love expensive luggage. Just because it is designed so well. Although, if I did invest in it, I would feel bad using it because the airport guys probably wouldn't handle it with care...Love this post, want the yellow piece, badly!

    ooh! this post reminded me of shopaholic when she realizes she's never shopped luggage before.. (don't know if you've read the books, but i recommend!) I scored a gorgeous old red leather suitcase at a flea market for 1,5€! I'm in love. Though it's not all that practical since it doesn't have wheels :D Well, I can always use it as decoration ;)

    This is the kind of baggage I would be happy to tote around life! I absolutely LOVE hard luggage. Something about it is an instant throwback. The Brooks Brothers trunk is great. I also love the cupcake bags...I wonder how much they carry. Of course, Karl Lagerfeld's Goyard collection is amazing!
