Custom-made luggage and vanity cases became popular following the increase in travel amongst the affluent classes during the post-war 1920s. Beautifully crafted and stunning aesthetic pieces with extraordinary attention to detail, vintage luggage can make a statement storage solution within a room if too heavy for today's modern travel. These pieces evoke the glamour of the golden age of travel during the early 20th Century.

Finnigan Ltd were amongst the finest makers of luggage during this era, a British counterpart to the French brands such as Louis Vuitton, Moynat and Goyard.
