Do you love vintage too? Then you've come to the right place!

Welcome to my suitcase of vintage and retro-inspired travel and lifestyle for fellow lovers of nostalgia.  I'm Katrina (Kat) Holden – a former travel magazine editor and freelance journalist. I've written for such titles as The Australian newspaper, Delicious, T Australia (The New York Times style magazine), Travel + Leisure Asia, Broadsheet Sydney and more. You can learn more about my professional  journey here.

This blog is my online cabinet of curiosities of my lifelong passion for vintage style.

I'm uncovering and sharing vintage design, style and nostalgia – from my home, wardrobe, city and my travels – as well as ways to incorporate vintage living into a modern lifestyle.  I am passionate about shopping vintage and sustainably, living life wearing and surrounded by pieces from the past and owning a little piece of history. 

This is your guilt-free place to indulge your love of vintage with a like-minded community of 'cool kats' who appreciate the stories behind vintage items and who share a desire to preserve the precious pieces of yesteryear – while subsequently treading more lightly on our planet.
