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.
