5 luxury luggage upgrades
Words: Charlie Thomas
You already know that it’s essential for every gentleman to travel in style. The garments inside your suitcase should be versatile, interchangeable and appropriate for the destination you’re heading too. It’s important not to forget the luggage itself though, as this is what people see and you wouldn’t want your perfectly curated outfit to be ruined by a nasty looking suitcase. With that in mind, here are some of the best luxury luggage options available today.
DOM REILLY, , Following on from a 15-year career in Formula 1, Dom Reilly, founder of his eponymous label, now applies the dedication and craftsmanship he experienced in the sport to his own brand. The Weekender bag forms the backbone of his collection, and thanks to its simplicity and compact size, it’s perfect for a short trip in the sun.
Dom Reilly Weekender, £1,400 from Dom Reilly
GLOBE-TROTTER, , For elite quality and timelessly design, look no further than Globe-Trotter. This large wheeled suitcase is finished in British racing green and accented with cognac leather straps, giving it a luxurious but practical demeanor. You may find it hard to hand it over at the airport though.
Globe-Trotter Wheeled Suitcase, £1,295 from Mr Porter
MULBERRY,
One word comes to mind when we look at this Mulberry holdall; elegance. Finished in a gorgeous oak colour, this buttery soft leather will develop a graceful patina over time, rewarding you the more you use it. We can’t get enough of the suede lining and the hidden padlock and dual buckles really make it a standout piece. It’s all about the details, gents.
Mulberry Clipper, £1,350 from Mulberry
TECKNOMONSTER
Whilst it might not look it at first glance, this huge suitcase is rather special. It boasts a high-tech, carbon fibre shell, hand-stitched leather trims with an internal organisation system – and it’s bulletproof.
TecknoMonster Kansor Maxi Spinner, £7,500 from Harrods
BRIC’S, , If you want to make a statement at check-in, this is the way to do it. The luggage equivalent of Tommy DeVito, this Bric’s suitcase features navy crocodile printed leather and gold zips – need we say more? It’s gaudy in every sense of the word, but we love it.
