The search for a dirty suitcase

I bought this fabric in hopes of making a cat suitcase bed inspired by the one below. After a day at the 25th Street flea markets my search for the perfect beat-up suitcase came up dry. (On the other hand, if I would have been looking for Nazi memorabilia, I would have been in the right place!) The search continues! Next stop, Brooklyn flea.
