I've been dealing with fits of nostalgia lately and went in search of something from my youth.
When I was a teenager (mid 60's) I had an adorable purse/handbag that looked like a little train case. it was lavender, had a single handle on top and latched with the old fashioned suitcase-style latches on the front. It was hard-sided and measured (big guess here) approximately 10 - 11" wide by 6" deep by 6 or 7" high.
I've searched various sources online but can't seem to find anything exactly like the one I owned. I've found lots of sort of similar-looking items, but just not the one I'm trying to find.
I've used terms like:
vintage
retro
train case
suitcase
purse
Does anyone know what type of case I'm talking about, and does anyone have any suggestions as to other terms I might use in my search?
Thanks!

It sounds almost like these "vintage cosmetic cases"
Similar?

Look under DECOPague. My husband made some for females in his family a long time ago. I know exactly what you're talking about. I think they were made from kits.

Google miniature train case and see if what you're looking for is there.

Someone beat me to it, but I was going to say Mark Cross.
Grace Kelly used a Mark Cross overnight case in Rear Window, and the company still makes a replica of the overnight case as well as other bags. They are available at Barney's, Saks, and markcrossdotcom.
