Decades after travelling
trunks have evolved to become the efficient, ergonomic, durable suitcases we
know today, jetsetters can’t help but think that style was compromised to make
way for convenience.
Not that it could be
helped. Truth is, anyone who has travelled, for business or otherwise, has had
to give up some degree of elegance and luxury—that’s just the reality of
security checks and travelling hassles.
Of course, there are
brands that claim to offer modern functionality without abandoning design and
heritage. And because both adjectives get thrown around casually to catch the
attention of discerning jetsetters, the true arbiters of luxury are going all
out to show what makes them worth your time.
Hartmann, with a heritage
that spans as far back as 1877, has created some of the most impressive travel
bags in existence and continues to do so, over a century later.
The importance of luggage
that can stand the rigors of your frequent jaunts across the globe is
paramount; but looking good as you make your way from one point to another is
just as important.
Hartmann’s collection
stands as a testament that a thorough understanding of timeless design and
luxurious detailing, anchored on a legacy of delivering products that make
journeys more elegant, can deliver exquisite pieces. And over a hundred years
after they started to do so, their heritage of craftsmanship is still evident.
It’s all in the
details—carefully hewn leather painstakingly hand-stitched together,
meticulously designed bags fit for travel, exceptionally crafted luggage that
will stand the test of time. Quite simply, Hartmann is designed to exude
elegance and style, while still providing complete functionality and comfort.
For the truly discerning,
these can only be found in a brand that quietly boasts an intuitive
understanding of what travellers seek and need; built steadily through the
years as they catered to the desires of jetsetters.
“It’s about making a
statement about your sense of practicality and functionality as well as your
eye for quality and detail—and Hartmann is proof of all these, all in one
beautifully designed piece,” ends Michael Corpuz, Marketing and Sales Manager,
Samsonite Philippines, Inc.
