Q: What size is this Samsonite Vintage Suitcase, and what typically fits inside? A: This suitcase measures approximately 53 x 38 x 18 cm, with a 5 cm top handle. It is best suited to light packing such as folded clothing for a short trip, shoes, toiletries, documents, or home storage items. As with all structured vintage cases, usable space depends on how you pack.
Q: Is this suitcase suitable as cabin baggage? A: Its dimensions are close to many cabin-size allowances, but airline rules vary and can change. We recommend checking your airline’s current hand-luggage limits before travelling, especially as vintage hard-shell cases should be measured including the handle and any outer edges.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

We recommend checking your airline’s current hand-luggage limits before travelling, especially as vintage hard-shell cases should be measured including the handle and any outer edges.
Q: What is this suitcase made from? A: According to the product information, it features a brown hard-shell exterior, brass hardware, a single top handle and a beige fabric lining. The exact shell material is not specified in the product information.
Q: What condition is this vintage suitcase in? A: It is listed in good vintage condition. There are visible scratches and scuffs on the exterior, stains on the interior, and tarnish and scratches on the hardware. This wear is consistent with age and previous use and is part of the character of a vintage piece.
Q: Is anything included with the suitcase? A: No additional items are included according to the product information. If a key, strap, dust bag or other extra is not listed, it should be assumed not to be included with this item.
Q: How do I care for the exterior and interior? A: For gentle care, wipe the hard exterior with a soft cloth lightly dampened with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, soaking the shell, or using abrasive products. For the lining, use a soft cloth and mild soap sparingly, then allow it to air dry fully before closing or storing the case.
Q: Can the interior stains or any vintage storage odour be improved? A: Gentle surface cleaning and airing the suitcase out in a dry, well-ventilated space may help freshen the interior. However, vintage stains and long-stored odours are not always fully removable, so some signs of age may remain even after careful care.
Q: Is this better for travel or for display and storage? A: It can work for both. Many buyers use vintage Samsonite cases for light travel, while others prefer them for stylish home storage or display. Because this is a vintage piece with visible wear, some customers choose to use it more gently than a modern suitcase.
Q: Do the clasp closures need any special handling? A: Yes. Vintage clasp closures should be opened and closed carefully, without forcing them. It is also best not to overpack the case, as this can put extra pressure on the frame and make closing less smooth.
Q: Do you know when and where this suitcase was made? A: The country of origin label states Vietnam. The exact production year is not provided in the product information, so we would describe it as a vintage Samsonite suitcase rather than assigning a specific year.
