Uppercase: Travel in Style with this Revamped Classic

Luxury Trends: Look out Louis Vuitton, there's a new traveling case in town. Uppercase, based in the United Kingdom, offers travelers an alternative to looking chic with their new line of vintage-inspired luggage.

Each piece is handcrafted from leather to suit today's travelers' needs, while maintaining a look of antiquity that seems to be so long forgotten. Until now it seems that trunk-style cases were reserved for elitists, who had servants to lug around their bulky effects. But with a lightweight case, adorned with wheels, you can send your butler packing.

Say goodbye to waiting around the airport luggage claim trying to identify one bag from the next. From briefcases to vanity cases, Uppercase offers a wide range of vibrant colors. Turn heads with hot pink, radiant red or a glowing orange.

Cases also come in neutral hues of brown, beige or black, making them ideal for any man looking for something practical yet luxurious.

Take a lesson from the country that still has a royal monarchy. Even the Queen herself, would be impressed with these cases. But you don't need to live overseas to get your own European-designed gear. Just visit Uppercase online to order. You never know when you'll need to take a last-minute hiatus.

But keep in mind that while the site might be user friendly at first, ordering a bag will involve some serious number crunching. Remember, prices are listed in pounds-not dollars. This can pose a problem as the exchange rate is almost two-to-one. That means that the oh-so-swanky Trolley Case listed at £320 translates into $628.

If only the Web site had a currency converter, ordering would be much easier. But you can always turn to the good ol' Internet to save the day.

I guess the British don't realize what avid shoppers we are here in America.
