1960s-era "Embassy" brand suitcases were typically sturdy, hard-sided suitcases with brass hardware, vinyl or faux leather exteriors, and structured interior packing ribbons, standard before the invention of modern wheeled bags. This classic mid century luggage line was generally built on rigid plywood or steel frames and covered in durable materials.
