By For those of us that can’t seek refuge in a lounge, the airport is not a glamorous place. Prodding your breakfast order into a Burger King self-checkout is not the behaviour of an unruffled jet-setter. The less said about those weird, round Prosecco bars, the better.
The solution? Add some much-needed drama to the occasion by cosplaying as a celebrity. It’s easier than you’d think.
Keep your palette dark and tonal. The key items include a baseball cap, sunglasses, soft knits and, perhaps most importantly of all, a chic-but-substantial suitcase. You’re going somewhere very important and you’re being inundated with scripts/award statuettes/A-list swag at every turn. That’s where Carl Friedrik comes in.
The London-based brand has taken inspiration from the Golden Age of Travel for its new Trunk suitcase, a luxuriously understated behemoth with plenty of room and a lifetime warranty.
Ideal for long-haul trips (with a hardy polycarbonate shell, aluminium lock frame and Vachetta leather detailing) it features retractable dividers and an 80/20 partition for bulkier bits and pieces, alongside the kind of whispering 360° wheels you'd expect from such a premium offering. Plus, it just... looks really nice.
