Ah ok, it might date it slightly later then but I’m unsure when they started using synthetics for suitcases. I want to guess at 60’s. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
it’s incredibly difficult to to assign a maker without any signature or label.

I agree with GemGem, likely mid-20th century and likely the maker will never be known. The case does not look high end and finding the maker would not add value... though I always understand the curiosity one feels about one's vintage objects!

I think this case is maybe older, from around the 1930s to 40s - the stripes are typical of that time. I found this one which is very similar to yours. Sorry can't help with a maker though.

agree with Dilly, your cute piece of luggage is definitely older, 30s into 40s. the condition looks pretty rough on the exterior, unfortunately.
has that left side on the interior pulled away? or is it a zip, i can't see well enough to figure it out. if it's just pulled out? you should be able to glue it back into place; I'd use a rubber cement rather than just school (Elmer's) white glue. I would probably clamp it to get it to hold better, too.
these were often called overnight cases due to their size, they just held a few essentials for an overnight stay.
