I’ve always loved a vintage prop and I was delighted a few years ago to find this beautiful old suitcase at a car boot sale.
It needed a bit of TLC which I was happy to provide to give it a new lease of life and the best thing about it is that it is actually lined with wood which makes it sturdy enough to sit on. They definitely don’t make them like that any more – you’d having nothing left of your luggage allowance if you actually tried to travel with this little beauty.
Still for my purposes, it was perfect and I regularly have it requested in the studio by folk who like a little bit of a vintage vibe. It’s really versatile, there’s tons of ways to style it. I’ve used it for newborn birth announcements, with teddies and toys, with blankets, and even Harry Potter themed props. However, I think it does look really lovely when paired with some of my silk flowers and a little bit of fluff. Perfect for this little girl!
