When you say an item is the Rolls Royce of its category, the implication is fairly obvious. It is the best and most luxury product available. So when it comes to luggage, who makes the Rolls Royce of suitcases? Well, the answer now is Rolls Royce itself.
The automobile manufacturer recently unveiled a bespoke luggage brand that pairs perfectly with its luxury cars. The six-piece luxury luggage set costs USD46,000. To think of it another way, you could purchase a pair of Toyota Vios for that price and still have some cash leftover. Of course, if you’re a globetrotter accustomed to traveling in a Rolls Royce, it only makes sense to have the matching luggage set for your journeys.
The luxurious set is comprised of two Grand Tourer valises, three Long Weekender bags and one spacious Garment Carrier that can hold a tuxedo or ladies gown. The leather pieces are made from carbon-fiber frames and are “meticulously” stitched by hand.
According to Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös, the new luggage collection “demonstrates our designers’ commitment to Sir Henry Royce’s manifesto, ‘Take the best that exists, and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.’”
And so there is no confusion as to just who makes the luggage, the British carmaker’s trademark “RR” badge that can be found in the rims of the vehicle will also appears on the wheels on the “Grand Tourer” series of bags, according to TheVerge.com.
