Travel lovers will adore the new 'PLANE' luggage collection. The luxury luggage collection is handcrafted in England from the fabric of discarded airplane seats. Each piece in the collection lists the miles traveled, speeds clocked and heights reached to remind the user of the backstory their luggage has. Airplane seat fabric is light, durable and stain-resistant, which makes it a great material for luggage.
The luggage is made from Italian tanned leather and American-made solid brass fittings along with the upcycled airplane seat fabrics. The PLANE luggage collection features a weekender bag, a messenger bag, a rucksack bag, as well as cases for laptops, tablets and phones.
PLANE luggage will be adored by the sustainability-conscious traveler. The traveler will surely add even more air miles to the ones already listed on their luggage.
