Luggage that is designed to impress

It’s the time of year when the lucky ones among us are jetting off on holiday to far away climes to bask in sun, stretch out on soft sandy beaches, and enjoy lounging by the pool. But what to pack all those holiday essentials in? A suitcase that’s seen better days doesn’t really give off the best impression when arriving in your holiday destination. So, to help ensure your luggage is the one everyone lusts after as it takes its turn on the baggage carousel at the airport, make sure you choose Antler.

Antler have been setting the trends in the luggage world for nearly a hundred years. Their designs are classic, functional and built to last. If you’re looking for luggage that seriously impresses, it’s got to be Antler.

For real wow factor, we love the Camden Suitcase for £149.99. It’s available in four colours – pink, lime, charcoal and orange and has a solid sturdy outer shell. It’s lightweight, inspired by the London borough of Camden and the London skyline, and comes with a 10-year warranty.

If you’re looking for luggage that you can take into the cabin with you, look no further than the Cyberlite 2 Wheel International Cabin Suitcase for £125. Like the Camden, it’s available in four different colour ways but this one’s got a soft outer shell that features front and side pockets as well as an integrated side handle so you can grab it with ease. We love its silent glide wheels and the fact it’s been designed specially for customers who travel by Ryan Air, First Choice and Thomas Cook Airlines.

Business travellers, meanwhile, should look to an Antler suitcase like the Business 100 Trolley Backpack for £125. It features a TSA lock, a removable laptop pouch so you can keep your computer extra safe, and has a super durable two-tone polyester outer. It can be pulled along by its handle, or carried on the back using the backpack straps that can be conveniently zipped out of sight when not in use.

Lastly, there is a special mention for the New Size Zero range of Antler suitcases. They are lightweight, have patented flex frame corners, slide glide wheels and an airmesh cool carry handle. These smart black cases are super sophisticated and are priced at £155, £165 and £175 depending on the size option you go for.

Spotlight on Antler Luggage

Antler Luggage couldn't come from a better pedigree, being from the same stable as the legendary Brookes bicycle saddles. John Boutlebee Brookes designed a leather saddle for his bicycle after his horse died and since that day in 1887, the Brookes saddle has acquired worldwide acclaim and is still highly popular today. It was in the 1920's when Brookes' son entered the passenger luggage market and the Antler Luggage brand was born. Mainly manufacturing wardrobe trunks for ocean liners, the company had a firm foothold in the growing travel market.

After a brief sidestep into manufacturing ruck sacks and webbing to help with the war effort, Antler turned their attention back to passenger luggage and thanks to the air travel boom of the 1950's, well designed and hard wearing travel luggage was in high demand. This saw the introduction of their Airstream suitcase which combined both soft and hard fabrics to create a light yet sturdy case which proved very popular on both sides of the Atlantic. This prompted the development of the Airstream range of suitcases which consisted of a matching vanity case and smaller, even lighter suitcase which was ideal for shorter trips.

Antler's current range of Airlight luggage is also aimed at the frequent traveller with a range of light and stylish suitcases, trolley cases, laptop case and cabin cases. Most popular with the frequent flyer is the range of smaller cabin cases. These are roomy enough to hold everything you need for a few days away yet compact enough to count as hand luggage. This makes it the ultimate travel bag if you want to avoid the long wait for baggage after landing.

Antler Luggage continue to develop their range of travel bags and suitcases in order to provide the ideal case for the varying needs of the average traveller (if there is such a thing). Many of Antler's range now include TSA padlocks which can be opened by customs officials meaning they don't have to break the padlock in order to check the contents. There are over a hundred products in the current Antler range including garment carriers & wardrobe cases, casual bags, rucksacks and lap top bags. Not forgetting their hugely popular Urbanite range of soft cases and the super stylish Liquis range of hard suitcases. With so much choice and ninety years' of experience, Antler Luggage will no doubt have designed the perfect travel bag or suitcase to tick all your boxes.
