Hat box

This is one of the star finds from our Cornwall trip, its a lovely wooden hat box complete with authentic luggage labels and metal edging. Purchased on a very wet and misty day trip to Lostwithiel.

Vintage trunk

I have already featured a few of my vintage luggage finds on this blog but I have a new-ish addition to the collection which hasn't yet appeared. It's a sort of steamer trunk suitcase combined and has some lovely vintage luggage labels still in place.

I couldn't resist buying it but up till now it has just been sitting a bit forlornly in our hallway. I have now found a perfect use for it as storage for all the vintage fabrics that I have been collecting together for sale at the next North London Vintage Market on 1st October.

As well as storage and transportation I think it will also work pretty well as a display stand as well.

Vintage luggage and hat boxes

Here are two nice vintage hat boxes which I have recently acquired. The top one has a very pretty design and is a good compact shape. Its already been snapped up by my friend Steph, aka Yellow Bird hats and I sure she will be putting it to very good use as storage for one of her beautiful hand made hats..

Here is another photo of vintage trunks and boxes in our flat. The big metal hat box on the top is our newest acquisition, snapped up in a charity shop at the weekend. Not sure what we are going to store in in yet, the big trunk at the bottom holds vinyl records.
