Current fixation (number 427 out of a set of God knows how many) appears to be vintage designer luggage...though as I spend so much time traveling there could be worse things to ponder, for a variety of reasons (with sheer impracticality coming in at number one), such musings fall under the category of "just looking, with no real intention to buy".

Ah, but to have been able to travel at a time in history when doing so with mountains of luggage was de rigeur...and there were plenty of uniformed porters on hand to deal with the messy practicality of actually moving said mountain around...the days when an Hermès toiletries case could be viewed, perhaps not as a necessity, but certainly a luxurious basic.
