Brown Travel Suitcase Porcelain Limoges Box

A brown travel suitcase, packed and ready for the next adventure, becomes a small porcelain treasure. This hand-painted Limoges box was made in Limoges, France, for anyone whose heart is always halfway to the airport.

Bags Packed, Passport Ready

The classic brown suitcase calls to mind steamer trunks, train journeys and grand tours of Europe. This one is painted by hand, so the leather tones and straps vary slightly from one case to another.

Where Will It Go Next

• A retiree setting off on a long awaited trip
• A graduate heading out to see the world
• A travel agent, pilot or flight attendant

The Traveler's Shelf

Set it on a bookshelf among travel guides and atlases, on a desk beside a globe or on an entry table where trips begin and end. It pairs well with globe bar, Eiffel Tower and passport themed pieces, making a little shelf of journeys. This is hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France, and it often marks a honeymoon, a big move or a milestone trip.

Porcelain has been made in Limoges since the late 1700s, when kaolin, a fine white clay, was found near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768.
