Luxury Carbon Fiber Luggage

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'monCarbone' is Perfect for the Elite Traveler

— July 24, 2013 — Unique
'monCarbone' has just released its fall collection of carbon SOFT luggage, created using a unique proprietary technology that transforms hard carbon fiber into a soft and pliable material that still retains the durability and sophistication of hard carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is increasingly becoming a status symbol, with applications ranging from fashion accessories like belts and watches, to electronics, sports equipment, high-end sports cars and even private jets. Other fashion boutiques like Ralph Lauren and Lamborghini have incorporated soft carbon fiber into their products, but monCarbone is the first in the world to produce 100% soft carbon fiber material.

Travelers have a choice of six unique pieces from the premium collection including a classic business briefcase, expandable briefcase, backpack, short carry-on, 19" tall carry-on and a 24" tall expandable luggage.

The Carbon SOFT luggage line can currently be found in Harrod's of London, Ron Robinson at Fred Segal, Los Angeles and Mitsosa in New York. The company will also be offering online sales of their products later in the fall of 2013.

3. Online Luxury Sales - Online luxury sales are becoming increasingly popular and present a disruptive innovation opportunity for brands to expand their reach and accessibility to wealthy consumers.
