Samsonite Black Label Fashionaire Collection

I simply love love love this collection which is inspired by Christina Ricci. I first saw it in the magazines when it was announced in April/May 2007. Didn't think more of it though it has been in the back of my mind. This collection is actually a new take on the original released in the 1960s, with matching accessories to the luggage set.


Then I received a look-alike bag, which is totally not in the collection but with similar prints and the interest is revived. The collection consists of a suitcase, wheeled upright, keyhanger, shoulder bag, scarf, umbrealla, wallet, shopping bag and beauty case.
I so love the scarf too with its purple satin trimming. It is 100% silk and only 200 pieces are produced! Darn!

Features Include:
Leather covered handle.
Sleeve with shoulder strap for easy storage and transporting.
Chrome finishing details on the top, bottom, and handle grip.
Fashionable and colorful Purple detail on the edge.
Dimensions: 34"x4"x4

The umbrella is so pretty, with the pop-art flower prints all around it.

They are just so pretty but I would be so hesitant to use the suitcases on commercial flights. Since they are so LE with limited pieces available worldwide, you do worry if they will go missing in the cargo hold. I would only own such expensive luggage when I have my very own charter plane or private jet (i.e. never!) :p


Some things are just meant to be admired and appreciated and enjoyed. Not necessarily to be owned. Maybe that is why the musuems exist, for us commoners to go soak in the richness and beauty of the displayed items.
