Vintage Fabric covered vintage suitcases

Here's the latest in the product line from VINTAGE BETTY ZEE - vintage fabric covered vintage suitcases. Now I like many people out there have been using vintage suitcases for storage. But it has always upset me to see older slightly damaged ones left out in the cold and only perfect ones being requisitioned for the home ......but now you can also have one that has it's own style and individuality!! The metal clasps aren't perfect but they work perfectly and some have key. There are more to come!!! Fabric info...there is 70s mustard coloured one (same material both sides), late 60s pink daisies (print on one side, red gingham on the other, and multi-coloured early 80s print (same print on both sides).
