VINTAGE CHENEY SUITCASE Travelling Wardrobe Cream Grey Two Tone WWII 1940's

THANKS FOR LOOKING

GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A VINTAGE EARLY 1940s CHEANEY SUITCASE IN GREAT CONDITION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SPECIALIST ITEM SO IF YOU'RE READING THIS THEN YOU'RE PROBABLY ALREADY AWARE OF HOW DIFFICULT IT HAS BECOME TO FIND ORIGINAL, 1940's CASES THESE DAYS DUE TO HIGH DEMAND.

THIS IS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT FROM A STANDARD CASE - ITS A TRAVELLING WARDROBE DESIGNED TO CONTAIN ALL YOUR BELONGINGS AND KEEP THEM SAFE. ONCE OPENED IT ACTUALLY SPLITS INTO TWO SECTIONS AND WORKS AS A STANDALONE WARDROBE - I'VE TRIED TO SHOW THIS IN THE PICS TO HOPEFULLY ILLUSTRATE HOWNIT OPERATES!

IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CHEANEY THEN IT'S WORTH LOOKING THEM UP. TRADITIONALLY, THEY'RE FAMOUS FOR BEING ONE OF THE FINEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SHOE MAKERS SINCE THE 1600'S. DURING WWII, THEY BRANCHED INTO BAGS AND SUITCASES TO HELP WITH THE WAR EFFORT. WE'RE INCREDIBLY LUCKY TO HAVE THIS CASE - IT WAS USED DURING THE WAR AND HAS BEEN SAFELY STORED IN A DRY ATTIC FOR THE LAST SEVENTY YEARS.

WE'RE A BUSINESS SELLER AND CURRENTLY HAVE 38 VINTAGE SUITCASES AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS COLOURS AND SIZES SO PLEASE CHECK OUR EBAY SHOP FOR ALTERNATIVES (WE DONT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS THOUGH - IT'SVERY RARE TO FINS ONE OF THESE!). THE CURRENT TRENDING PRICE FOR THESE ON ETSY IS A RIDICULOUS £88 SO GRAB A BARGAIN!

WE'VE BEEN SELLING ANTIQUE SUITCASES FOR YEARS - MAINLY TO THE FILM, TV, MUSIC AND FASHION INDUSTRIES WHO GENERALLY NEED A FAST DELIVERY (SO FAR WE'VE DONE JAMES BIND, DOWNTON ABBEY, KILLING EVE, THE IMITATION GAME, INDIANA JONES, CALL THE MIDWIFE, PEAKY BLINDERS ETC. - PLEASE ASK FOR REFERENCES). IF THIS IS YOU THEN AND URGENT, WE CAN GENERALLY GET THEM TO YOU NEXT MORNING (SHIPPING PRICE WILL BE SET BY PARCELFORCE 24). ALSO GREAT FOR EVENTS, WEDDING RECEPTIONS, SHOP DISPLAYS AND KEEPING PERSONAL ITEMS IN!

THIS CASE A PARTICULARLY NICE EXAMPLE AS IT LOOKS LIKE ITS MADE FROM WHAT I THINK IS VULCANISED FIBREBOARD (SAME AS GLOBETROTTER - VERY LIGHT AND TOUGH) AND COVERED IN A LEATHER LOOK VINYL COATING. IT A VERY UNUSUAL COLOUR - CREAM FACES AND PALE GREY SIDES WHICH PROVIDES AN INTERESTING TWO TONE EFFECT.
