About Vagabond Heart

Vagabond Heart makes vintage inspired steamer trunk style embroidered patches and stickers for your luggage, backpack, laptop, etc. Help your luggage stand out on the carousel or just add a globe-trotting vibe to your bags. The idea for Vagabond Heart came to me three years ago when I was on a winter-long vacation in a small town in Mexico, which I loved, except for the fact that I didn’t really have anything to do with my time. I thought to myself, “If i’m going to come down here every winter, I need a project to keep me busy.” The idea was a combination of my interest in vintage clothing, style, and old movies, with my love of menswear and fashion, and of course, travel. What I wanted was a way to make my normal looking duffel bag look like an updated version of the luggage you’d see on a trans-Atlantic crossing in the 1920’s, or on the runway in Casablanca. I wanted to have patches from Paris and Rome and Cuba plastered all over, but I didn’t want the readily available (and boring) flag patches, and I didn’t want something too retro and costumey. So I started doodling and looking for a designer who could help me bring my ideas into the real world.Read their story
