The world never needed an excuse to think of the holiday season. Perhaps, that is why we spotted some cool holiday merchandise in the start of October. Brand MUMM has just launched a very chic and stylish (please note ‘limited’) collection that consists of three champagne trunks to make your Christmas and New Year blissful this coming December.
These three travel trunks carry tailor-made caskets for Brut Cordon Rouge and Vintage 1998. We like the classy splurge of color in this collection that ranges between white, red and brown. Since, the base is in leather, the overall effect is quite impressive.

Until a few fashionable decades ago, most of us were quite content to travel with blocks of luggage carriers. When we say ‘blocks’ we really mean the drab and boring gigantic structures that literally sucked out every bit of fashion possibility from the process of a journey. Glad those times are over for now the emphasis on Business class travel has taken luggage carriers to all new luxurious heights.
The discerning traveler always likes to travel in style. Perhaps, that is the reason why Berluti is such a hit with the Richie Richs of the world. The brand has been loyally giving us with the best quality leather goods likes shoes, belts, wallets and briefcases. And now they have brought a cabin-sized Formula 1000 trolley which we are told shares an exclusivity as a Ferrari does from a horse.

Come October and you can happily go prepare for your future travels because famous luggage designer Bill Amberg is busy working on a special and limited edition of leathergoods with Johnnie Walker Blue Label that will blow your mind away. With a long and impressive name like Johnnie Walker Blue Label by Bill Amerg Studio, you can imagine that it will be a collection of simple, functional and stylish bags and carriers.
The two brands are known for their quality and rarity, the two facets that will get reflection in the new collection. The holding design of the collection is a gorgeous limited edition bag called the Weekender (see picture above). We are quite taken over by its alluring masculinity which is reflected in its practicality.

Samsonite just thought of adding more excitement to its work by teaming with McLarenSport for the creation of an F1 inspired line of luxury travel bags. Well keeping true to the Samsonite statement, these are top notch on safety and security but with dollops of style that will undeniably make you eye candy everywhere you go.
The suitcases and bags are lightweight and durable like most of the others in the production house but they also come equipped with a high-end wheel suspension system that actually has the ability to absorb the impact of bumpy grounds so that all your valuables inside the bag are handled with care, somethings on the lines of a trendy F1 car protecting the driver inside.

We think that suitcases with wheels are the biggest blessing to that zestful traveler who now does not have to be burdened with even the thought of troubling one’s arm muscles so much. But that was no reason for designers to stop their stream of thought. And that is precisely why; a French travel good company that goes by the name of General Concept Ltd has launched the Egon Sit On trolley.
A great luggage that mixes high durability and latest technology with a cool fashion statement that, trust us, all of you will want to make. The trolley is multifunctional and works to benefit travelers who spend most of their time in planes and trains. You can also choose from eight vibrant colors at a rice of $350 per piece.

With the summer setting in, time has come for most of us to pack our bags and take some time off for holidays. Well, that is a good thing only if you were not to be bothered about the luggage.

Travels would have been perfect had it not been for the tedious task of dragging once luggage. Not anymore. The house of Hammacher Schlemmer has just developed one of it’s kind self-propelled luggage system that is equipped to power itself on its own each time you have to roll your luggage or encounter inclines. Yes, this smart suitcase has a handle that is lined with sensors. These monitor the amount of force you are requiring to pull the luggage. And each time you struggle, it will know it and propel the suitcase to up to 3 mph.
Then again, don’t be worried about any battery charge wastage for the power assistance initiates only when the suitcase is in motion and the handle has been pulled out between angles of 15 degrees and 35 degrees. And as soon as you come to a decline, the motors disengage themselves letting you roll the luggage unit the traditional way.

I don’t think we can call this one just a piece of luggage when it is nothing short of organised armor and has a name like the Zuca Pro. Equipped enough to cause a revolution in the baggage-manufacturing industry, the Road Warrior comes with a 300-pound weight capacity.
It comes with an alloy frame along with a built-in seat. And that is just the tip of the iceberg as the Zuca Pro also has space for removable packing pouches that stack like drawers and a pair of 4-inch polyurethane wheels that are capable to absorb shocks and ensure a silent journey. And since each wheel is recessed, the bag can slide overhead without the tiniest bit of sound.
