The quintessentially British menswear designer, Hackett London, has launched a new line of luxury travel goods with Carl Friedrik, the London-based premium luggage brand. The new collaboration will be tailored to the sophisticated jet-setter searching for classic accessories that will last a lifetime.
Both are inspired by British heritage, drawing inspiration from old-school designs that exude elegance. Their partnership seems a natural fit between brands putting a modern twist on old-school styles.
Hackett London is well-established as the go-to for traditional menswear - The type of shop father’s bring their sons to buy their first suit. Their notable bowler hat and umbrella logo is a nod to its beginnings but their garments are anything but stuffy. Established in 1983 by Jeremy Hackett, it offered classic garments fit for Savile Row at a fraction of the cost. Young businessmen flocked to the shop, catapulting the brand to success which has expanded to 160 outlets across the world.
Founded in 2013, Carl Friedrik is fresh-faced in comparison but is already making waves with its premium and ultra durable luggage. The price tag is justified by the lifetime guarantee that comes with each product, promising quality and longevity. Their ‘The Check-in’ suitcase has become the most coveted item at the top of every globetrotter’s list. Wrapped in lightweight carbon and fitted with aluminium hardware, it will stave off dents from the luggage hold. But more importantly, it won’t break your back when you haul them up several flights of stairs on a glamorous Eurotrip. Made by Hinomoto, the Japanese gold-standard brand, their products are trustworthy and impeccably crafted.
