The history of the production of leather suitcases is closely related to the history of the automobile and the aviation industries. Since the beginning of the 20th century, mobility has increased rapidly, bringing with it a need for lighter luggage that people could carry themselves. Previously, only the wealthy could afford to travel. Leather chests were used for luggage and the servants carried the heavy chests.
Old leather suitcases with lots of patina.
