If you are a follower of this blog you will know how much I love Marcel Wanders work, if it were up to me I’d post about every single item he designs. This time the world renowned designer has designed a collection of suitcases for luggage and bag company Fabbricapelleteriemilano. The collection is called: ‘Saint-Jacques.
Each of the suitcases comes with a TSA combination lock and handles designed to provide easier means of toting the bags around.
The interiors are organized to allow for the optimal placement of one’s belongings, while the exterior of the suitcase is covered in wanders’ signature pattern with zipper pulls that recall the ironic face of the designer.
‘I think the style conscious people will love the colors, the contrasts and the interior in bright colors,
while those who are attracted by the multi-sensory will appreciate the three-dimensional embossed surface (…).’ – marcel wanders
The suitcases are available in quick silver, jet black or space blue colors.
