These Luxe and Vintage-Inspired Suitcases by Wilkins are Beautiful
Ryan Clark — February 17, 2015 — Luxury
For wealthy jet-setters, the W1 crowdfunded luxury suitcase from Wilkens is the ultimate travel companion for that next trip to Cape Cod or the French Riviera. Boasting a refined construction of leather, hardwood, brass and carbon fiber, this sturdy and reliable suitcase comes with a Lifetime Guarantee, so you know you're getting a truly top-of-the-line product.
When famed designer Mauro Bianucci crafted the W1 Suitcase, he set out to incorporate only the finest materials into his new creation -- for instance, by sourcing top-quality leather from Denmark and tanning it in Italy. In a similar vein, mahogany and ebony trims serve as a subtle reminder that this suitcase is not only strong, but exquisite as well. Best of all, being that this is a crowdfunded project and each suitcase is custom-made, customers can select which colors and materials they like best, ensuring that the finished product which they receive is a truly bespoke creation.
