  • Details
    Welcome to Femme Within. A gentle reminder: all listings include free UK postage.🐰

    ​Step back into the 80s with this quintessential Sterling floral tapestry vanity case. This is a beautiful example of the classic "carpet bag" revival style that was so popular in the UK during the late 20th century.

    ​Featuring an intricate, woven floral motif in shades of dusty rose and sage green, this case is finished with durable black piping and polished silver-tone hardware. Unlike modern alternatives, this vintage piece has a wonderful weight and texture to it, making it a stylish addition to any travel set or dressing table.

    ​What makes this piece special:
    It is rare to find these cases with all their original accessories. This listing includes the detachable navy shoulder strap and the original brass padlock with two keys, both in full working order.

    ​Era: 1980s / Early 90s
    ​Brand: Sterling (British Heritage Luggage)
    ​Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The tapestry is vibrant with no pulls, the interior is clean, and the zips glide smoothly.
    ​Versatility: Use it as a traditional makeup train case, a unique "top handle" handbag, or for stylish storage of craft supplies and jewellery.
