Yeah. At first I would say to people something like “It’s supposed to be a suitcase....”, until I realised it IS a suitcase.

Do you have any info on the process? I’m currently making my own and I’m open to advice or information?

I have posted about my replica of Newt Scamander's suitcase before, but in this particular post I have included some side by side photos of my replica and the original prop. I have replicated the contents as closely as I am able at the moment. I have also included photos of the pyjama top and the handkerchief which I made by hand. There's also some photos of the gloves and clock, which I had to adapt to be more like the original props. The gloves were originally white and the clock originally had a white face.
I made the suitcase by hand from scratch (Including the stitching, shaping the leather corners, colouring and ageing the leather...).
Here is a little blog about the process of making the suitcase: Newt Scamander’s Suitcase – 100% from scratch

RJN such an amazing creation, I especially love the images of all the contents. Could you possibly tell me the name of the fabric used for Newt's nightshirt? Did you make it or buy it?

Thanks,
Ali.
