“The Traveling Suitcase,” an art piece which, in spite of its $1,000 price tag, is not for sale. The artist may have missed the point of Etsy
Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. the surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.)
3/31/16: We are travelling next week, so I’ve been thinking a great deal about travel accessories. Etsy turned up some real beauties, including suitcases, toiletry bags, luggage tags, neck pillow bags, and all the usual stuff you’d potentially need for a trip. And, of course, in true Etsy style, my searches turned up some wonderfully weird and wacky stuff as well.
As usual, links to the items for sale appear below each picture. For more Etsy fun, check out all my weekly Etsomnia™ posts.
“Poltrigia comes out of an old cardboard suitcase that has captured the world inside.” It should read “Adorable chair suffers from bizarre description syndrome.” By CreazioniDesign
A search for travel turned up quite a few fantastic posters.
$654 “Upcycled” suitcase that looks like everything you put in it comes out smelling like dead pigeon.
You might want to poke a hole or two before checking the suitcase. I’d also recommend doubling up on the diaper.
Now, THIS is the way to travel! I’ve always wanted a steamer trunk (or at least an excuse to own one). By FadedFare
You might think that this travel hula hoop is unusual, but an Etsy search turns up 1,700 results (in gorgeous colors)! By TheSpinsterz
With friends like this… “Travel companion”
For the bride who can’t admit that the wedding is over, and now she’s just another married lady on a plane.
I’ll bet if you wear this Eiffel Tower skirt in Paris, you’ll get your picture taken. A LOT.
This is a crocheted vagina purse. I know. I don’t see it either, but that’s what it says. By someone who should maybe consult an anatomy text book. Or get a girlfriend
Hands off. They’re MINE!!!
Love this mid-century suitcase pet bed!
Look! It’s a meeting of the Unhappy Pug Club!
While modern travel accessories may win in the convenience category, they lose in style. How beautiful is this 1920s manicure and perfume kit? By TreasuresPastOn
I’m pretty sure I’ve been stuck on a long flight next to the loon that carries this suitcase. I think I’d rather travel with a screaming baby than endure that again.
Do you love (drug-sniffing) dogs? Do you crave attention (from the TSA)? Then Etsy has the luggage tag for you!
It makes me sad that in this day of cell phone apps, travel alarm clocks aren’t necessary anymore. They were so beautiful! By PatriciaCohn
Zombie boyfriend arm travel pillow. That ought to keep your seatmate out of your personal space.
Nothing communicates that you’re a sophisticated world traveler like pulling your passport out of this derpy puppy holder.
“French art” travel journal. I doubt they’ll let you on the plane with this thing. It looks dangerous.
