Vintage Valise

This gorgeous weekend valise from French designer Lalé is a must-have! The eye-catching vintage prints make this a very special piece. We just love the vintage floral fabrics, spots and prints that make these items as eye-catching as they are functional. Perfect as an overnight case, a laptop bag (it perfectly fits a 15in MacBook), children’s suitcase or just for pretty storage, the valises have taken Europe by storm and are now available in Australia. The cases are sturdily constructed with two layers of cotton canvas, contrast trim and wooden side liners to keep their shape.
