Your Trustworthy Luggage Brand
When designing new products, we look far and wide for the highest-quality fabrics. The twin pillars of longevity and sustainability are what we search for.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is reputed for its impact-resistant qualities and versatility. The exteriors of our hard-shell travel cases are made from German-engineered Makrolon polycarbonate (100% virgin PC), a blue-chip provider.Â
We use polycarbonate because it's inherently durable. Bumps on the road are inevitable when travelling with luggage, however, polycarbonate’s ability to absorb pressure and flex instead of breaking stands it in much better stead than other luggage materials.Â
The material is also visually sleek, lightweight and effortless to maintain. Dirt can be removed from its surface with just warm soapy water.
Aluminium
Aluminium is an inherently hardwearing and relatively lightweight metal. To increase their sturdiness, our hard-shell suitcases favour a hybrid construction that integrates polycarbonate shells with aluminium lock frames.
Nylon
Our Nylon is made from 100% recycled pre-consumer waste. This involves recycling nylon materials discarded in manufacturing processes to give them a new purpose.Â
Along with its eco-friendly credentials, the material offers a high degree of water resistance, impressive strength-to-weight ratio and robustness. At the same time, the coarsely woven construction helps to conceal stains and blemishes.Â
Visually, the matte finish subtly elevates the appearance of our nylon bags, giving them a functional luxury look.
