Publisher's Note
The first highly illustrated history of vintage luggage from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, covering the developments in the shape and manufacture of luggage and its increasing portability in response to advances in travel. All shapes and styles of luggage, and the varied materials used in its manufacture, are described and illustrated in color.


Luggage documents our social history and records the various methods of carriage over the decades; it is no surprise that vintage luggage has become a popular collecting field in recent years. This book is the first illustrated history of vintage luggage from the 19th to the mid-20th century. Developments in the shape and manufacture, as well as its increased portability as a result of advances in travel, are covered. All types and styles of luggage are described and illustrated in color photos, line drawings and reproductions from original catalogues. Many rare and exotic pieces are covered, but the focus is on luggage that is available today. Helenka Gulshan uses her expertise as a dealer and restorer to guide the reader on what to look for and how to date, identify and assess pieces of luggage. The book concludes with an extensive directory of manufacturers and retailers, making it an essential reference for collectors and admirers of vintage luggage.
