The Checked Bag
A vintage lover’s guide to the best finds around the world—curated by Darbe, founder of Sunset Club Vintage.
The Checked Bag is part travel diary, part sourcing journal, and part love letter to the places that inspire our most treasured pieces. From Tokyo to Paris, each volume traces Darbe’s journey through local vintage shops, flea markets, and fashion archives—uncovering stories, slowing down, and always checking one extra bag on the way home.
