With luggage For most things, luxury is relative. For some, that means you have a TravelPro Platinum Elite (with “Pro” and “Elite” on the name!), and for others, if you don’t scroll Louis Trunk, you’re either doing quiet luxury or a bankrupt boy.
Over the past decade, I have used Tom Bihn Aeronaut 45 until my boss told me about Rimowa’s existence. It turns out that I love Rimowa – I love the luxury bohemian vibe of this brand, and I love the way the aluminum shells are seasoned every time I travel. But as someone who flies by almost every month every year, I’m always looking to try out new competitors.
Carl Friedrik is a new London-based luggage brand that makes bags with unique leather upholstery. Its full-size suitcase is suitable for checks running for about $800, while the rolling carry-on suitcase is about $550. Depending on your prior, these prices may make you very reasonable or marginal. All I can say is this a very good bag to transport your items.

As mentioned earlier
Carl Friedrik was founded in 2012 by two Swedish brothers and initially focused on leather goods, especially laptop bags and wallets. The rolling carry was introduced in the summer of 2019, just before the unstable period of the travel industry, some readers may remember. Carl Friedrik completes most of his business direct to consumers, although you’ll see products on well-curated retail sites like Huckberry. The brand’s roots in leather products are visible in carry-on and other rolling luggage from the brand, thanks to its unique and handsome leather handles and leather accent tapes on the top of the shell.
Carl Frederik is a brand that not only succession But using the occasion to post Instagram subtitles thoughts about quiet luxury. (“In essence, the quiet luxury aesthetic rejects seasonal fashion changes, but trusts in a long-standing design.”)
Niklas Mattis co-founded the brand with his brother, who focuses on protecting the majestic but endangered Amur Leopard. That said, yes, the brand is working hard to plan the atmosphere. Success, I will say.
I’ve brought Carl Frederik to New York, New Mexico and San Diego three times since December. It hasn’t disappointed me yet, and despite being checked at one time and riding in a small desert bush in Santa Fe, the gray polycarbonate shell looks new. This contrasts with aluminum suitcases from brands such as Rimowa and Tumi, which are designed to develop patina.
