Vintage suitcases for kids

When my daughter was about 5 years old, she went through a phase where she loved to play travel. She'd stuff her grandmother's old TWA flight attendant suitcase, which was small and child-size, and walk around the house telling us she was going to Malta, Madagascar, Maine.

A small suitcase makes a great toy for a kid with a wild and worldly imagination—and you can find the perfect kid case on Etsy. Look at these vintage beauties that came up in a search.

Without wheels they might not be the right cases for kids to carry through an airport but one of these would be fun for a little girl to take on an imaginary trip to Paris with her stuffed bear and dolly.

Your child will travel in style with these retro raspberry-colored cases are from the 1950s. $30, LizziGirlVintage
