If there is one thing that makes travelling exponentially easier – especially if you are someone who jets off on short-haul flights often – it’s owning a set of sturdy carry-on luggage.
Whether you’re off on holidays, away for a few nights on a business trip, or jumping on a train to spend a long weekend with extended family, Carl Friedrik has just the luggage for you.
The British luxury brand has just announced the expansion of its best-selling Heritage bags range, which now includes grained leather styles.
The new collection now offers an ultra-smooth finish with a subtle raised grain using Italian leather, bringing a more relaxed aesthetic to a much-loved design.
The brand – founded by brothers Niklas and Mattis Opperman – chose three of its key silhouettes to introduce the grained leather to: the Palissy Briefcase, the Palissy Double, and the Palissy Weekend.
New colourways have also been included in the design, including muted shades Fango and Taupe, alongside the bolder Mustard hue.
The grained leather designs were launched in response to growing customer demand for new bag styles, with co-founder Mattis stating: “We’re in constant dialogue with our customers and in the last few years we’ve noticed an increased appetite for textured leather bags. It felt natural for us to revisit the Heritage range and inject fresh design impetus with the elegant-grained leather we eventually landed on.”
Carl Friedrik sourced the grained leather from Hoffmans, a German tannery founded in 1899 which exclusively works with high-welfare hides from northern Europe, and prides itself in its sustainability credentials.
The new bags are available now (check them out here), and we’ve detailed some of our favourites, below.
