Item Details

This is a vintage voyager's suitcase. An English, leather personal luxury travel case, dating to the Art Deco period, circa 1930.


Beautiful traveller's luggage case, with associated steam ship labels - a revivalist treat
Displaying a desirable aged patina, with a gently time-worn appearance
Robust frame dressed with quality leather tanned in a saddle brown hue
Replete with nickel plated brass sliding clasps and inset locks — untested, key absent


Pleasingly tactile, rolled leather carry handle, articulating upon stout hinges
A selection of steam ship and destination travel labels add wonderful period detail
Locations include Jamaica, Nassau, Haifa, and the Levant Hotel in Israel


Also bears labels for the Elder-Fyffes Line of passenger-banana ships, aboard their TSS Camito
Its sister ship the Golfito appeared in the background of the first James Bond film, Dr. No (1962)
The Golfito was moored in Jamaica at the time of filming, which is a location featured upon the case


Interior lined in a period correct plaid textile, with a crisp, bright cream colour
Lightly aged order, being ideal for modern use and replete with a division insert
Dressed with leather retaining straps for keeping contents secure whilst travelling
Finished to the base with metal press studs to protect the leather covering when placed


This is a fascinating vintage voyager's suitcase, with a delightful Art Deco and mid-century travel aesthetic. Perfect for attendance to revival festivals such as Goodwood in Sussex, or the Sausalito vintage fashion fair in California. Delivered ready to enjoy.
