Pukka Luggage was a prestigious British brand from 1909 to the late 1950s, known for its handmade, high-quality luggage like trunks and suitcases. It was especially popular during the interwar years and was sold exclusively through high-end retailers like Harrods and the Army & Navy Stores.

A "de mob" military case likely refers to a demobilisation suitcase, a piece of luggage issued to British servicemen and women after World War II to carry their civilian clothes. It could also refer to a general clothing bag or other carrying case used during the process of demobilisation, which involved releasing military personnel back into civilian life.
