excess baggage


 Hi all!
I was dismantling a display at the store today which featured these beautiful old leather suitcases.
And you know how your mind wanders? Even though I've had my old suitcases for years now, or perhaps because I've had them for so long, I really hadn't looked at them properly in a long while.


Maybe it's because Brunnel & I saw 'Midnight in Paris' last night, but I couldn't help but think of where these suitcases have been, and the stories they might be able to tell.
Just look at their luggage labels.
These suitcases have been around the world, and in style.


Good thing excess baggage wasn't an issue in those days.
They weigh a ton... and that's before they have anything in them!
