Rochard China Travel Suitcase Limoges Box

Packed and ready for a journey to the Far East, this travel suitcase from Rochard is themed to China, one of a series of porcelain luggage pieces devoted to destinations around the globe, each one hand-painted by the Rochard team in Limoges, France.

Bound for Beijing

From the Great Wall to the Forbidden City, the waterfront of Shanghai to the harbor of Hong Kong, China draws travelers with thousands of years of history. This little case is a reminder of that trip, or of the one still on the wish list. Rochard keeps the suitcase shape for each destination, so the series lines up neatly on a shelf.

For the Seasoned Traveler

Give it to someone just back from China, a family with Chinese heritage, a Mandarin student, or an exchange teacher heading abroad. On a study bookcase, a travel shelf beside a globe, or an office desk, it tells a story without a word. Suitcase collectors often add one box for every country they visit, and this one marks a big trip.

A Limoges Tradition

Painting on Limoges porcelain begins only after the white piece has been fired at very high heat.
