Briggs & Riley Luggage - Discover the Most Advanced Way to Pack

via Briggs & Riley

On our recent trip to South Africa, I finally came to terms with the fact that I suck at packing my carry on. I carry all manner of just in case crap that I never use. And I'm not using a great bag for it. In addition, my big mama suitcase is showing signs of extreme wear. Reevaluations are in order, along the lines of the sponsored post below.

Packing for an upcoming trip is more than just remembering to take enough clothes and personal care items. Instead, you also need to consider the type of luggage that you’ll use to carry all of your valuables. The last thing that you want is to place everything in suitcases that aren’t secure or strong enough to protect your belongings, or that will be difficult to carry.

Thankfully, the experts at Briggs & Riley have thought of all of the best pieces of luggage, giving consumers a new and more advanced way to pack everything they need. Keep reading to learn more.

A Unique Expansion and Compression Feature

One of the most innovative features of the Briggs & Riley brand is known as CX Expansion Compression technology in the Baseline collection. This basically gives you maximum capacity to pack everything you need, all while meeting the carry-on size restrictions for airlines. You can pack more, compress it down, and still have a great carry-on bag that’s easy to take with you because it doesn’t weigh too much either.

Instead of the typical wrap-around zipper that’s common on the majority of luggage out there, the Baseline CX has a ratchet-up style handle that gives you roughly one-third additional packing area instantly. Once you’ve finished packing, all you have to do is reverse this process. You do so by popping the mechanism down again to compress the bag to its original size. And the best part is everything is firmly held in place.

A Variety of Collections to Choose From
In addition to the Baseline collection, there are many others, including the Torq, Transcend, and @work lines, all featuring their own unique suitcases for work and play. This gives consumers a variety of choices to suit all of their needs.

A Lifetime Warranty

No matter where you purchase your Briggs & Riley luggage from, you can rest assured that you’ll have a product that comes with a lifetime guarantee. In the event that your suitcase is ever damaged or broken, even if an airline causes the damage, the company will repair it at absolutely no cost to you. It’s really simple, as the warranty will cover the cost of repair for every functional part of the luggage, for the entire life of the luggage.

The warranty doesn’t, however, cover things like cleaning, stolen bags, lost bags, or cosmetic wear. Regardless, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever really need to have your Briggs & Riley luggage fixed because these suitcases are extremely sturdy and built really well.

To get your luggage repaired, all you have to do is take it to any authorised repair shop, or you can instead mail the luggage to the Briggs & Riley repair centre. 

As you can see, Briggs & Riley bags are very different from other luggage brands, and they do provide the most advanced way to pack for modern travel. Check out Charles Ford London to find the perfect set of luggage for your particular needs and budget.

Rimowa Luggage Goes Gourmet: Compliment Your Topas Pieces with the New Gourmet Range
The Rimowa Topas range was originally developed to be able to handle the rigours of extensive travel in the tropics where temperatures can exceed 35°C during the hottest part of the day. This puts a considerable strain on both the traveler and their luggage as they move through the airport, out into a new country, and towards their hotel.

Not every person who handles the luggage along the journey is as careful with it as one would hope. So luggage needs to be robust enough to deal with its rough handling and the heat.

The Topas Collection

The Topas collection includes two-wheel sports or business luggage, a beauty case, and the larger IATA Cabin items that just fits in the overhead bin. The beauty case is particularly appealing for the ladies who like to carry their refinement on the go without needing to crunch up their make-up items into a single zip-up bag in their main luggage.

By contrast, the Topas Stealth collection sports the latest technology in efficient luggage, uses aluminium in its design and has a black colouring to go almost unnoticed as the traveller breezes through the airport to the check-in counter.

Going Gourmet in All Things

Not content with the Topas collection, Rimowa have now gone a step further with their Gourmet collection for the ultimate in travelling luxury. 

• The Gourmet Travel Humidor looks sleek with a single latch enclosure so that you can easily store your favourite cigarettes, cigars, or tobacco for pipe smoking. The case weighs in close to 2 lbs so it is barely noticeable.

• The Gourmet Sparkling Wine/Champagne Box is both larger and heavier at slightly more than 3 lbs, and it can carry a substantial bottle of wine or celebratory bottle of champagne on a trip.  This is great for people who are travelling on their honeymoon as well as for business people who want to impress their clients.

• The Gourmet Wine Case is much more substantial with two sections, two latches for separate opening areas and weighs in at over 9 pounds.  You’ll struggle to find a sturdier wine carrier than this!

The colour choices for all the above items in the new Rimowa Gourmet range include traditional sliver and luxurious champagne.

Finding the Latest Rimowa Collections

Rimowa luggage collections are a good choice for top quality items that are durable and will not need replacing for many years to come. Online luggage shopping through companies like globalluggage.co.uk is a great way to see the available ranges of Rimowa and other branded luggage before making an informed choice.  With many different styles available, everyone from the fashionable tourist to the professional business traveler will be able to find a collection that meets their travelling needs.

Where luxury travel is the thing, the Rimowa Gourmet range is likely to peak the interest of even the most hardened traveler. It’s a great compliment to the Rimowa Topas collection, and one that we are sure will be successful.
