Tin Tin Collectables
Tin Tin is primarily known for it's extensive selection of trunks and suitcases;
These large, and sometimes cumbersome, pieces belonged to a long-gone era
of luxury travel involving stream trains and ocean liners - the notion
that these could be presented to today's budget airlines is, frankly,
laughable!
Back
in the heyday of sailing back and forth across the Atlantic or
travelling by the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul, these pieces
would have formed an indispensable part of a first class travellers
entourage - packed, carried, maintained and unpacked by your staff,
this luggage would have been expected to last a lifetime. No
one knew that the invention of air travel would render these beautiful
pieces purposeless! Manufacturers and august retailers soon realised
that in order to survive in a rapidly changing market, they needed to
evolve and produce the lighter and more manageable luggage popular today.
For
many decades, these magnificent reminders, of an era long lost, sat
gathering dust in the attics of the great and the good until someone
realised that they could be re-purposed as excellent usable storage
solutions in today's smaller apartments - whether as coffee, side, or
occasional tables, end of bed storage, window seats, or smart console
under mirrors.
Some find their way into the interiors of smart shops from London's Bond Street, to New Yorks 5th Avenue.
Vintage
luggage from Tin Tin Collectables is fully restored and re-polished and
comes in a wide variety of sizes and colours, and we stock many of the
great brands including, Moynat, Fichet of Paris, Brookes, Moritz Madler
& Bon Marche to name a few.
