Bric’s goes glossy with nature-inspired collection

Bric’s has introduced a new collection of suitcases inspired by the colours found in the Italian resort of Positano, on the Amalfi Coast.

In addition to the colours, the inspiration for the development of the new trolleys was nature and the Italian brand’s desire to protect it. That's why the Positano luggage collection is made of strong recycled polycarbonate made in Germany, which is flexible and resistant. The special surface finish is shiny and elegant, “as if the sun is reflected in the turquoise water”, the company said.

Distinguished by their design and functionality, both hallmarks of Bric’s products, the spinners are lightweight, even with large volumes. The largest model with a capacity of 132/139 litres weighs only 5kg. The optical lightness is achieved through the tone-on-tone finishes of all the elements. Whether it's the leather details, zippers, wheels, inner lining or leather logo, every element of the collection is kept in the same colour for a powerful monochromatic impact.

Users can protect personal items from theft or tampering, thanks to the ultra-secure zip and TSA-approved lock with an individual numerical combination. In some sizes, the zip has another special feature: it is extendable and can generate up to four centimetres of extra volume when the compartments are open. In addition, each trolley is equipped with a USB type A and type C connection, protected by a retractable flap and with a separate internal pocket for the power bank, which allows you to recharge and work with mobile devices anywhere.

The trolleys have ergonomic double-swivel wheels with high quality Japanese ball bearings, allowing smooth 360-degree navigation. The size of the wheels offers stability, while the wheel cap has a personalised design. Additionally, the wheels are recessed, favouring the stability and visual lightness of the suitcase and increasing the volume of the trolley itself. The pull-along handle consists of ultra-light, D-shaped multi-stop aluminium tubes that are mechanically stable and the ergonomic handle is personalised with the Bric’s logo.

Other features include the spacious interior and the lining which is colour-coordinated on the outside. The internal equipment is completed by a hook for coat hangers. Each trolley comes with a protective cover made of high-quality elastic neoprene that stylishly protects against dust and scratches.

Unveiled at the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes in October, Positano is available in five model variants: in 38cm x 55cm x 23cm or 27cm, with separately opening business compartment for laptops, etc; as a cabin trolley measuring 38cm x 55cm x 23cm; and as a trolley in size M, L or XL, each with an expandable zip. The colours are Salvia (sage green), Celeste (light blue) and Ottanio (teal).

Also on show at the Cannes fair was the new Porsche Design collection of bags and luggage, engineered and manufactured by Bric’s.

In other travel retail news, Bric’s is set to reopen its store at Rome Fiumicino Airport.
