Gone are the days when travel was simply a utilitarian affair. In today’s world, how you travel says as much about you as your destination. With the quest for both style and functionality at its peak, local luxury leather brand Maison de Sabré’s latest foray into the travel luggage and accessories realm couldn’t have come at a better time. Their new collection promises to make your old luggage set feel outdated, as they introduce pieces that are not only luxurious but also thoughtfully crafted.
For those unfamiliar, Maison de Sabré has carved a niche for itself in the leather luxury market, standing tall with its bespoke, monogrammed products. Their pieces don’t just accessorise; they personalise. This ethos is carried forward in their new travel range. Picture this: luggage that isn’t just luggage, but an extension of your personality. With signature options for monogramming, you’re not just carrying a bag; you’re making a statement.
Maison de Sabré founder and designer Omar Sabré sees the collection as solving the common problems of being in transit.
“The biggest flaw I see right now with travel is that we waste so much time checking-in, checking-out – and there just isn’t a seamless option that allows you to get-in and get-out and have the truly first-class experience,” explains Omar.
“The Travel Collection that we’ve designed is exactly that. It takes into consideration every single pain point that’s associated with modern travel.”
Their new travel range is made up of four distinct products that aim to elevate and simplify your travel experience. The Tech Pouch provides a safe way to store your cables, chargers, airpods and SD cards with its plush, multi-compartment design. The Jewellery Case is stackable and expandable to secure all your beloved accessories when you travel, and the generously sized Beauty Pouch can house up to two 100ml bottles, in addition to beauty and grooming essentials.
While the entire range boasts of the brand’s characteristic elegance, the star is undoubtedly The Duffle, their carry-on bag. Echoing Maison de Sabré’s love for clean lines and understated design, this bag is a visual delight. But its beauty is more than skin-deep. A closer look reveals an expandable and stackable design, with a convertible trolley sleeve, and compartments meticulously tailored for the needs of modern travellers. With dedicated phone, passport and laptop pockets and detachable jacquard straps and sides, it seems every traveller’s gripe with fiddly carry-on luggage has been addressed.
Quality, a non-negotiable for Maison de Sabré, shines through in this range. The craftsmanship is evident in every seam, every fold. These aren’t just accessories; they’re heirlooms in the making, promising to accompany you through countless adventures.
Now, when we talk about upgrading luggage, functionality is key. Many high-end travel accessories falter when met with the realities of travel. They’re either too fragile or lack the space for real-world needs. However, Maison de Sabré appears to have cracked the code. Their new range doesn’t just look the part – it plays the part. Its robust design is set to withstand the rigors of travel, as tested by Omar himself.
“Over the last 24 months I’ve been on a plane nearly every week or every second week. I’ve flown over 200,000 miles, travelling the world for work,” Omar explains.
“The biggest thing I’ve given in this collection is that it’s been through an accumulation of hours that I’ve travelled, the destinations that I’ve been to, the different demands of the individuals that I’ve spoken to – and it’s about understanding exactly what they need for a first-class travel experience.”
Maison de Sabré’s new travel accessories, priced between $139-$549, are more than just an upgrade; they’re a transformation. They promise to replace the mundane with the magnificent, making every journey as noteworthy as the destination. So, if you’ve been thinking about giving your old luggage set an overhaul, there might be no better time than now to invest in staples that will last.
