Travel in style

HERE’S ONE to carry up the plane! (or to school/work/whatever)

This awesome briefcase/suitcase reminds one of a particular designer brand with its repetitive monogram-style pattern and green/red/cream striped ribbon. ; )

Anyhoo, it’s big enough for your laptop, chargers, papers, a book, and more. It’s got a back compartment for your computer, and a front compartment for all your other essentials like your passport for easy reach.

It’s got way more personality than your generic black laptop bag!

American Tourister Mid-1950s Tri Taper 3-pc Luggage Set

May 20th, 2011

THIS BEAUTIFUL set of matching luggage was a joy to travel with, and is still a delightful sight to behold!

Sturdy and stylish, the grey trio comprises a rectangular suitcase, a round suitcase and a vanity case, sans keys.

Imagine people’s jaws dropping in admiration at Changi Airport; or on the plane as you embark with your unusual hand luggage!

When not in use, these three pieces make a creative display storage solution for all manner of items such as winter clothing or nail polish bottles!

Lovely and rare. Sold as a set.

And look what we found – an image of an American Tourister Tri Taper advertisement from the 1950s, complete with loving well-dressed couple on Aladdin’s magic flying carpet as their preferred mode of transport.

Awesome.

THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN SOLD.

1940s Surrealist Bag

April 5th, 2011

YES. THAT is a glove you see on a bag!

A rhinestone and pearl studded glove with a massive square gilded buckle set against leopard print fabric and faux fur with a snap clasp.

O.M.G!

It’s handbag humour in the hands of a surrealist who lived in the 1940s! We are glad it’s survived to 2011 to put a smile on our faces. 🙂

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD.

1970s Bamboo Bag

March 9th, 2011

SO, EVERYONE can see what you put in this see-through bamboo bag with all its slats, but who cares, cos it’s so cute!

How funny that we’ve come across such a similar piece to one that we blogged about previously, another cane bag that was identical to a piece featured in a book.

Anyway, we love this bag for its whimsicality. Definitely a head-turner and conversation piece.

Just a thought… Things not to put in this bag: toothpicks and guitar picks! :O
