Networking and vintage luggage have absolutely nothing in common. Still, I have always enjoyed finding something rare and exclusive, and this was no different when I searched for vintage luggage to serve as storage. This was a decade ago because when I gave both eBay and Etsy a try, it was a very time-consuming and tedious process that often ended up with me being disappointed in the condition of the item, which in this case, were thankfully smaller pieces I could still utilize. I wanted some bigger pieces, so I adopted a “wait and see” attitude since I wanted to inspect them in person before making a purchase. As I said, this was ten years ago, and although I frequent thrift stores a few times a year, I had no luck.

Then, the Central and North Jersey Chapter of NAWBO held their last networking gathering of 2022 at STuFF with IGGIE, and my luck changed. I saw the luggage propped on a very high shelf in the group meeting room; the ladies probably wondered why my eyes kept darting up. I couldn’t wait to look closer because I was ready to purchase the set.

And it did work out for me because here’s the luggage. I haven’t filled it with anything yet, but it will likely be used to store extra bedding.
