    Vintage Leather Suitcases

    Posted in: Vintage

    Vintage leather suitcases have history, style, and charm. Buy three or more stacked together and you have all that, plus a unique piece of "furniture" and extra storage. Whether you are already a collector of vintage suitcases or if you have never had any before, once you realize how great they are for decorative storage you'll have a hard time passing them up when you find them. Especially if you find them for a great price.

    Step 1: The first thing you need is to find some vintage leather luggage with a hard body. You will probably also want ones that are stackable. You may have some vintage suitcases that are suitable already. Or you can search for some at thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, consignment stores, eBay, some antique stores, or ask around if anyone you know has some old suitcases they'd like to be rid of.

    Step 2: Clean the suitcases, especially on the inside. Brush out and vacuum any debris. If the inside is musty smelling sprinkle some baking soda inside, let it sit overnight and then vacuum it out thoroughly.

    Step 3: Decide what you will be storing in your vintage leather suitcases. You'll probably want to use them for things you do not use that often. If you've stacked them up together the contents may not be as easy to access, especially things in the bottom suitcases. I use a lot of my suitcases to store my collection of vintage linens. You could also use them to store memorabilia or blankets.

    Step 4: Put labels on your suitcases so you can easily recall whats in there. You could use vintage leather luggage tags. Or use manila mailing tags tied on with ribbon or string. Or anything else you think looks attractive and strikes your fancy.

    Step 5: Decide where you will place your vintage leather suitcases. You can stack them at the end of your bed. Next to the side of your bed as a night table. Or you could use them in the living room stacked next to a sofa as a charming side table. If you aren't stacking them you can use them underneath beds or tables. Small suitcases can also sit on tables or shelves. If you cant find any old, hard suitcases in colors you like consider painting them or covering them with decoupage. Consider putting the stuff you are storing in the suitcases in plastic zipper storage bags to keep them more protected. If it looks like the suitcase you want to used is moldy think twice about using it for storage. Mold is not healthy for you and you don't really want it around. You could try cleaning it, but if you do make sure you do an excellent job.
