Crafted with a caned exterior, striped fabric lining, metal hardware, and a leather handle, this decorative suitcase embodies the refined yet durable design of early luggage. At the turn of the 20th century rail and steamship travel grew and such suitcases embodied both practicality and status. They were often made with natural materials to withstand long journeys while displaying craftsmanship and style.
