Vintage upcycled luggage makes travel fun again

Vintage upcycled luggage makes travel fun again

We all know that any time you go on the road with kids, it's not really a vacation, it's a trip -- but that doesn't mean you can't pack in style. In fact, the right suitcase can really get you in the vacay state of mind. Even if you are filling it with sensible shoes and kid clothes. I'm smitten with GetReadySetGO's upcycled vintage luggage. Rachel Demsick takes classic pieces -- train cases, messenger bags, suitcases -- and embellishes them with beautiful one-of-a-kind artwork. The pieces themselves are in impeccable condition, and come in stunning shades (no more black roller bags! hooray!) and the delicate paintings make these workhorses into works of art.

I really really want the camel-colored train case--somehow I think having luggage with The journey is the destination painted on it would make every single trip a little more like a vacation. -Susan

Vintage upcycled luggage is available from GetReadySetGO. Each piece can be embellished, and every piece is one-of-a-kind.
