About this deal
This great jute bag is roomy enough for your beach towel, suntan lotion, book and all those other beachy essentials. It is 1928. Scaramanga has sold similar suitcases as trendy memory chests, living room board game tables, cool coffee tables or bedside tables. Giving the wooden club a thoughtful twirl, she is struck by an idea - but what starts as a brilliantly idealistic plan is derailed by a connection with Mattie's militant past, one which begins to threaten every principle that she stands for. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, why not consider a select stack of vintage suitcases against a wall used as an eye-catching visual feature? Treat yourself to a Crabby Old Bag. This distinctive high-quality suitcase has many practical reasons to be in your home - both functional and style related! Scaramanga loves the leather's surface patina. Mattie is a woman with a thrilling past and a chafingly uneventful present.
Reviews
Ali - The Dragon Slayer
At present she is living with Florrie Lee aka The Flea, clever eh? Mattie is one of those characters that puts reality onto the page, she is such a fascinating person and I would love to sit down and discuss her life so far over a cup of coffee with her. It’s a book you need to make time for to really savour it’s depth.

Taking it upon herself to help, Mattie forms a club. And politically driven or not we should all use our right to vote in honour of those unselfish enough to gain it for us. Mattie is determined to offer the girls knowledge and opportunities that so many others must forgo. I loved her for her unassailable courage, commitment, determination and passion.

Tender. Old Baggage by Lissa Evans is a rich, tender tale of friendship, love and fighting for what you believe in.
She has tackled politicians, stood at the forefront of protests and inspired and buoyed the hopes and aspirations of so many under her wing. She is at a loss for what do to. Old Baggage can mean so many things and there are numerous options to choose from in this book, can Mattie and the Flea make a difference in the world again if they have already succeeded before.
