No two suitcases are actually alike. Designed to evolve over time, the patina is ready to deepen, enhancing the suitcase’s sensory character because it ages. Like a gnarled map face, every bit will develop a singular appear and feel; their surfaces are roadmaps of their journeys.

For the primary time within the model’s storied historical past, the inside has been utterly reimagined, wrapped solely in luxurious black leather-based hand-selected by Owens himself. From the liner to the Flex Dividers, each element speaks to his singular imaginative and prescient—uncooked but polished.
