The Carry-on and The Check-in
The smart 40L cabin case, the Carry-on, and larger 69L the Check-in, are sturdily built for life on the go.
Featuring a hardwearing, impact-resistant polycarbonate shell and TSA-approved aluminium lock frames you can be sure that the case’s contents are well protected and secure. The 360-degree Hinomoto silent spinner wheels will keep your case by your side as you navigate the busy streets while its understated style should draw admiring glances from fellow travellers. A telescopic handle is suitably robust and inside each case you’ll find two zipped pockets, two sets of compression straps and a compression pad.
Available in Hackett London’s four signature colours, these cases display subtle co-branding etched into the Italian leather detailing, completing the look of sophistication and style.
SHOP NOWThe Compact Weekender
For a shorter weekend away, an overnight business trip or simply a session at the gym, the Compact Weekender is a classy, slimline accessory with a generous 24L capacity.
This bag amply demonstrates the qualities found within Carl Friedrik and Hackett London’s collaboration – it’s a finely crafted item that oozes finesse, with a practicality and attention to detail that is born of excellent craftsmanship.
The bag is made from soft and durable nubuck leather that has been brushed to a smooth suede finish and features vachetta leather detailing. A nylon canvas lining adds to the bags strength, while also helping to protect your clothes on the inside, and it also comes with a 40mm wide shoulder strap.
