Whether you are jet-setting, road-tripping, or setting sail, Carl Friedrik is the place to go for luxury luggage.
Founded in 2013, the London-born label empowers modern travelers with timeless luggage. And now they are setting out to conquer another mountain with their brand new Aluminum luggage.
It's official! You can now shop Carl Friedrik's Aluminum luggage.
Crafted from a specially formulated aluminum alloy and developed to offer exceptional strength, this line of luggage is unlike any other.
Make sure to indulge before the collection inevitably sells out.
The new collection recently launched and is inspired by the mid-century travel aesthetic. With classic aluminum shells and leather details, the pieces feel straight out of early jet set days.
This is a huge new avenue of exploration for the brand, which is mostly known for its best-selling premium polycarbonate suitcases.
The Aluminum line is offered in three classic leather colors: Black, Chocolate and Cognac.
Carl Friedrik is known for its durability, and this inaugural Aluminum collection is alleged to be the strongest yet.
Each suitcase is made of aluminum alloy and designed with exceptional strength and impact resistance. This means when your suitcase flies out onto the conveyor belt, it won’t see the typical dings and dents. Bonus: The carry-on corners are reinforced with steel.
Back in the day, luggage was a serious luxury, and aluminum was a common material that gave off sophistication and curb appeal. The new line blends raw metal with vegetable-tanned leather accents to achieve a classic luxury look.
If the crisp design weren’t enough of a selling point, the line also features high-end travel engineering, including Integrated TSA-approved combination locks and 360-degree Hinomoto ball-bearing wheels (aka the best wheels in the biz!)
The timeless aesthetic alludes to an era when travel was an art form, blending raw metal with rich vegetable-tanned leather.
'Consumers are buying fewer travel pieces but investing more per item, with longevity increasingly the decisive factor', said co-founder, Mattis Oppermann. The Carl Friedrik Aluminum luggage is just that — an investment.
The 38-liter carry-on suitcase is making waves like no other in the travel industry and you can be one of the first to own it. Check out the launch for yourself at Carl Friedrik's website. Happy traveling!
