Stuck on what to buy the man in your life this Christmas? A practical gift is always a good idea, especially when it’s something they can use again and again.
So, if you’re looking for a Christmas gift for your husband, boyfriend, son, or father, Carl Friedrik’s range should be your first port of call.
The quiet luxury range, which was heavily featured by the Roy family in HBO’s Succession, is the British brainchild of two brothers, Niklas and Mattis Opperman, who noticed a gap in the market in 2013 for a brand selling timeless leather goods.
Now, Carl Friedrik is a luxury travel brand that specialises in accessories, bags, and luggage - and this Black Friday you can get 30 per cent off of the whole range.
Carl Friedrik will offer 30 per cent off sitewide, which marks their only sale period of the year and makes it perfect for those looking to get their Christmas shopping done early.
The sale will include the brand’s hero products, such as The Carry-on, The Carry-on Pro, The Check-in and The Check-in Large suitcases; the Palissy Briefcase, Palissy Double, Palissy 25-hour and Palissy Weekend; and the Rover Nylon bags including the Compact Weekender, Day-to-Day Backpack and City-hopper backpack.
It means huge savings for some of the items, as the Palissy Double usually retails for £725, but shoppers will be able to get it for £507.50 - a saving of over £200.
The sale will also see The Carry-on suitcase be reduced from £385 to £269.50, a saving of over £100.
While some of the products won’t be available before Christmas, you can buy them on pre-order in the sale to prepare for birthdays and other celebrations next year. This includes some of the women’s goods like leather tote bags and backpacks, and some of the leather wallets, card holders and passport holders.
To help you pick what to buy this Christmas, we’ve detailed some of our favourite products from the Carl Friedrik sale, below.
