Luxury Men's Travel Redefined:

Carl Friedrik and Hackett London Collaborate for the Modern Gentleman

For the discerning traveler with a taste for refined style, luxury luggage just became even more enticing. Building on the success of their initial 2024 collaboration, Carl Friedrik, a name synonymous with exceptional travel goods, has expanded its collection in partnership with iconic British menswear brand Hackett London. The result is a range of meticulously designed suitcases that embody the spirit of classic masculinity and modern sophistication.

A New Era of Effortless Style

The latest collection introduces two striking silhouettes: the Carry-On X and the Compact Weekender. Each piece has been crafted with the quality and attention to detail that both brands are renowned for, promising not only durability and functionality but also an undeniably stylish aesthetic. These suitcases are built for the gentleman who values both performance and an elevated sense of style while jet-setting around the world.

The Carry-On X: Engineered for the Modern Globe-Trotter

Priced at £465, the Carry-On X is a premium cabin case designed to meet the demands of today’s sophisticated traveler. Its sleek construction features a hardwearing aluminium frame and a polycarbonate shell, ensuring industry-leading durability. The design is accentuated with vegetable-tanned leather details and co-branded elements, all finished in Hackett’s signature colour palette. A thoughtful integrated front pocket allows quick access to travel essentials, making this case as practical as it is visually striking.

The Compact Weekender: A Perfect Companion for Short Getaways

At £395, the Compact Weekender is the ideal choice for overnight trips and short escapes. Now updated with an integrated luggage holder, it seamlessly attaches to all suitcases within the Carl Friedrik x Hackett London range, including the Carry-On X. Upholstered in luxurious nubuck leather, the Compact Weekender exudes a masculine charm that complements its robust design, ensuring that style never takes a back seat, even during brief departures from routine.

A Shared Commitment to Timeless Craftsmanship

Both brands have long been champions of quality and timeless design, and this partnership is a testament to that shared vision. Mattis Oppermann, co-founder of Carl Friedrik, remarked on the natural synergy between the brands: “Hackett London is the quintessential British menswear label and we share their quality-driven, timeless approach, albeit in the travel space. We believe this is why the collection resonated strongly with our customers, and it felt natural to expand the offering.” Gianni Colarossi, Chief Product Officer at Hackett, echoed these sentiments, emphasising that the new designs not only enhance functionality but also meet the aesthetic demands of the modern traveler.
