The nice thing about bags is that they are “age irrelevant” I believe anyway. And I’m sticking to it!
I only have one bag that has the shape/look of a luggage but I love it to bits. Here's my Aspinal of London trunk bag:
Small metallic leather bag that’s a little “luggage-like” I think.
It’s a cheapie department store brand JenJBS, from The Bay called SFW-Safe for Work. They must have had a brief collaboration cuz now it’s all on clearance.

Another Gucci, with this description:
Inspired by vintage travel luggage, the GG Supreme tote bag has a double handled shape, finished with leather corners and zip-top closure. Reminiscent of traditional suitcases, the structured design is finished with logo engraved metal feet.
Tote bag with leather details $2,190
I like how the handles are truly adjustable from hand carry to shoulder wear.

I just found this bag in the KS Surprise Sale. I don’t recall seeing it ever as a part of the regular collection (that ended up getting marked down) so not sure if this is one of those “made for factory” styles?
Regardless, I’ve been looking for a vintage yellow epi LV Cannes; this is a good substitute and seems really cute so I purchased it! Now I just need to find room on the shelf for it......

I regret not buying the kate spade cherry cake bag and the caviar bag
, I used to go monthly and buy their novelty bags. I have stopped buying Kate spade ever since they changed their creative director. Now KS has lost it's touch, basically they slap on the KS logo onto a boring Coach style bag

I received my Kate Spade Rumi trunk from their Surprise Sale today. It's pretty cute in person. Does it replace the LV yellow epi Cannes? No, but I think this bag would be easier to use because of the closure. You push down the pointy tip of the spade to open, and you can use the bottom of the square clasp as leverage to easily close the bag. There are 3 feet on the bottom. It's only missing that royal purple lining that the yellow LV has. And maybe the clasp is a biiiit big for my liking (would've preferred a smaller, minimalistic clasp) but those are minor grievances.
The dimensions listed on the site are way off. On the site they're listed as 7.8''h x 10.24''w x 5.12''d and that would imply a bucket that is wider than it is tall - this is not the case. it's about 6" tall (without handle), 8" with handle, and the width is 6" while the depth is 5" (due to the flat back part).
The strap is a bit long for my liking - perfect for crossbody, but a bag like this I'd prefer to wear on the shoulder vs. crossbody. It's pretty cute handheld though. The leather is nice quality and I believe is the same as the Andi bag - treated to prevent scratches. The yellow is a lovely cool toned yellow with a hint of green. With a name like "Limelight" I was worried it would be more green than yellow, but it's definitely yellow. It's bright but definitely not neon, which I'm happy about. The inside lining feels like the suede lining of my Madison Debra and according to the site it is in fact microsuede...so.... I'm pleasantly suprised.
For $119 US, a pretty good buy. If you took away the KS logo and slapped a $500 price tag on it, I'd probably still buy it. I wish KS would release MORE trunk-like bags like this.

It's really cute! I didn't know the inside was a microscope! I thought it was just fabric. I guess I should have read the description. Do you like the spade lock?
