El Rastro Antique's Warehouses
The Collector’s Choice for a Reliable Luxury Experience
This Ostrich Leather Suitcase is a trusty and reliable masterpiece of exotic leatherwork, representing the absolute peak of 1970s luxury travel. Crafted from genuine Full-Quill Ostrich skin, it features the distinctive, raised follicle pattern that is the hallmark of high-end exotic hides. Unlike modern mass-produced imprints, this vintage piece showcases the natural, irregular scatter and "pore-at-the-peak" detail found only in authentic ostrich leather. Professionally preserved, it remains a robust and functional piece of travel history.

The jacket was beautiful but arms soo short for me - so it made a good gift for a friend
The typewriter arrived from Europe to the US sooner than scheduled which was a wonderful surprise. It was carefully wrapped so there was no damage at all. It was exactly as shown in photos online. All of the keys and functions work perfectly and I’ve been using it regularly with no issue. Highly recommend this business if you’re looking for a stress-free vintage purchase!
