Features

EdgeFrame™: The edge frame increases torsional rigidity and adds impact protection by absorbing and redistributing forces during travel. Similar to a body-in-white strategy in automotive design, the structure combines stiffness with controlled deformation to protect the interior and retain geometry.

CenterFrame™: A centered frame structure creates a stable spine throughout the luggage. This unique construction improves load distribution, enhances repairability, and preserves the tactile feel of closing the case.

Wheel housing: The wheel housings are designed specifically for the aluminium format. They integrate cleanly into the shell and provide enhanced ground clearance and better shock absorption. They also act as a central structural point where multiple parts meet with tolerances that are rarely seen in the luggage industry.

Trolley Handle: The trolley handle uses a unibody aluminium housing that strengthens the entire handle path and creates a precise, silent extension. The handle is the main interaction point of the luggage and the aluminium construction gives a solid, dependable feel during use.

Carry Handle: The carry handle uses a refined material and mechanical construction that exposes its functional logic. It provides a comfortable grip and snaps back with intention.

Premium/luxury travellers prioritising build quality over weight
Short trips (1–3 days) with cabin-only travel
Rough travel conditions (airports, cobblestones, repeated handling)

Key benefits

Exceptional durability – aluminium absorbs and redistributes impact forces
High security – frame + TSA locks eliminate weak zipper points
Longevity – modular design makes it “infinitely repairable” instead of disposable
Premium handling – smooth wheels and rigid handle improve travel experience
Structured packing – maintains shape even when fully loaded
Sleek aesthetic – minimalist Scandinavian design with high-end finish

Care & maintenance

Clean exterior with a soft cloth + mild soap (avoid harsh chemicals on aluminium)
Expect patina – scratches/dents are normal and part of aluminium ageing
Lubricate wheels occasionally to maintain smooth rolling
Check screws/components periodically (modular design allows tightening/replacement)
Store in a dry place to avoid moisture affecting internal lining
Avoid overpacking to maintain frame alignment and locking integrity

FAQs (Q&A)

Q: Is the aluminium shell better than polycarbonate?
A: Yes for durability and protection, but it’s heavier and shows cosmetic wear more easily.
Q: Is it airline carry-on compliant?
A: Yes, its ~55 cm size fits most airline cabin limits, but always check specific airline rules.
Q: Why is it heavier than other carry-ons?
A: The full aluminium construction (≈5.85 kg) adds weight but significantly improves strength.
Q: Can it be repaired if damaged?
A: Yes—its rivet-less modular design allows parts like handles and wheels to be replaced easily.
Q: Does it scratch easily?
A: Yes, aluminium develops visible marks over time, but these are cosmetic and don’t affect performance.
Q: Is it worth the high price?
A: Worth it if you travel frequently and want long-term durability; overkill for occasional use.
Q: Does it have a laptop compartment?
A: Yes, with dedicated sections for laptop, tablet, and small accessories
