Whether you are traveling home for Thanksgiving or enjoying a family vacation, here are the top five Italian leather travel essentials for your trip…
This Thanksgiving, invest in Italian leather luggage that will last a lifetime with our 25 year warranty. The key then is finding the luggage bag that completely fulfills your requirements. There are three classic designs to decide between: the cabin bag, the suitcase and the classic Gladstone.
If you are consistently flying, a Italian leather holdall that is a suitable carry-on is apt. This way you will be able to enjoy stress-free traveling time after time. Of course it is important to research your airline’s specific measurements for cabin bags but, the Farini holdall with buckle is considered the perfect carry-on bag by most. This bag is distinctly practical, marrying durable Italian leather with a design that will accommodate all that you may need for a few welcomed days away. The secure buckle and floor-to-floor zip open to a single spacious compartment complete with a zipped pocket within the lining to separate out essentials. The Farini is then finished with a useful carry handle and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for added comfort as you travel. As such, this cabin bag is an essential for the sophisticated frequent flyer.
If you prefer to carry less weight, then a wheeled suitcase is the smart option. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in the heart of Italy, the Piazzale in particular is designed for those searching for a timeless suitcase. Each features a telescopic handle and a set of durable wheels so that you can easily traverse the airport. There is also a handbag loop if you want to attach an extra bag to the Piazzale as well. On its own, the Piazzale trolley case is considered suitable for the cabin by most airlines. It is, however, undeniably spacious with plenty of space for a week away. Moreover, the large zipped pocket on the exterior of this quality Italian leather wheeled suitcase is ideal for separating essentials that you need to access easily. Thus, the Piazzale offers considered travel time after time, wherever your next destination may be.
For the refined gentleman with traditional taste, the iconic Gladstone travel bag is a worthy investment. It possess a deep heritage as the design was originally immortalized by Victorian British prime minister William Ewart Gladstone who held office for an impressive four times between 1868 and 1894. Joining the liberals in 1859, Gladstone’s new world views conjured more opportunities to travel which inspired his namesake. With this, a Gladstone is the ideal travel accessory for the jet-setter with nuanced style. Each large Gassano features a hinged metal frame, two buckles and a lock and key fastening which provides a wide opening to the main compartment. Suitable for up to a week away, the Gassano large travel bag also includes a zipped pocket within the lining to separate out essentials as well as a detachable shoulder strap. This in turn combines a distinct modern functionality with the classic craftsmanship and aesthetic of the Gassano Gladstone. Whichever design you choose, this is the last luggage that you will ever need.
Of course no trip, Thanksgiving or otherwise, is complete without a dopp kit. Handcrafted in Italy, our master craftsmen use the finest full grain leather and their wealth of knowledge to ensure that each dopp kit is as durable as possible. Full grain leather refers to the top layer of the cowhide where the grain pattern is closest, providing unrivaled durability and celebrating the natural beauty of the hide. The Duno small and large zipped dopp kits, therefore, remain popular favorites. Similar in design, each Duno features a structured bottom and wide opening for optimal functionality. The larger version additionally includes a wrist strap and an external zip pocket for any added extras. This creates a practical, quality and easy-to-pack dopp kit, ideal for the discerning traveler.
For organized journeys every time, a travel document wallet is an absolute essential. It is the perfect place for your passports, tickets and any other necessary documents. In fact, the Torrino Italian leather document holder can hold up to 4 passports which makes it the ideal luxury travel essential for a family. The design itself features two press studs that open to three separate internal compartments, as well as a large pocket on the back of the wallet. Whilst the Torrino is a classic design, the Ortona travel document holder is arguably more feminine. It boasts an envelope design with contrast stitching and a single press stud fastening. Inside, there are 10 card slots and a large slip pocket which makes a sleek document case for your travel requirements. Either way, an Italian leather travel document wallet is an investment for many more adventures to come.
If you are traveling back home as a couple this year, his and her passport covers are ideal – adding that touch of luxury to any journey. Nevertheless, the Prato passport holder is simple in design. The cotton-lined center includes a clear sleeve for your passport, two credit card slots and a hidden slip pocket suitable for a ticket or a couple of folded notes. This is handcrafted from the finest leather, available in five tones from classic chestnut tan to bright hot pink. This way, each Prato can be adapted to you and your loved one. It is the smallest way to ensure refined travel.
Like the Prato passport holder, the Ledro Italian leather luggage tag can be personalized so that it is completely unique to you. The Ledro luggage tag is, after all, a useful identifying accessory to attach to your luxury Italian leather bag as you travel. It features a buckle strap for easy attachment, as well as a transparent sleeve for an address label covered and secured with a popper. This can then be embossed by our bespoke personalization service with your or your loved one’s initials. This is the smart way to distinguish your holdall as you travel.
