A viral TikTok series is proving that fashion trends can be timeless.

TikToker Maddy Bill uncovered her 91-year-old grandmother's packed suitcase from the 1950's. Packed for her honeymoon to New York City, Bill's grandmother, Marie D'Alessandro Donato, never unpacked her fashionable vacation outfits.

Donato also left some photographs of herself wearing the clothes that are in the suitcase, so Bill has been able to compare the recreated looks:

Bill explained to Good Morning America how the suitcase came into her possession:

"I've always known about this suitcase ever since I was a little girl. My mom discovered it when she was a little older and she told me about it and she selflessly saved it for me and my sister for when we were of age."

"I opened it up and I was just like, 'This is the coolest thing I've ever seen,' because it really just brought back everything to me, especially memories -- my grandfather passed about 21 years ago -- so just those memories of my grandparents in that time in their life, it's just really cool"

You can watch the entire series on Bill's TikTok account, @maddy_bill.
