selectism - Samsonite Black Label meets McLaren

Samsonite Black Label have teamed up with McLaren to design some ‘high performance’ luggage. Rigorously tested to McLaren Formula One standards.

“This initial phase of the collaboration takes in to consideration the rigorous travel schedule encountered by the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes race team, giving them a collection of luggage which is tough, secure, light weight and in keeping with the technology associated with advanced motorsport.

The SBL McLaren Sport collection comprises 9 individual pieces all with their own unique design attributes and common functional traits. All items are finished in black nylon with the distinct McLaren rocket red accents. The perforated leather carry handles, black nickel metal hardware and linings in grey and rocket red come as standard. The wheel suspension system which some of pieces employ has been through rigorous testing courtesy of the McLaren team and has proved its prowess over thousands of miles of grueling travel.

Samsonite is the worldwide leader in superior travel bags, luggage and accessories, combining notable style with the latest design technology and the utmost attention to quality and durability. Utilizing top designer expertise from around the globe, Samsonite creates unparalleled products that fulfill the travel and lifestyle needs of the sophisticated traveler.  For almost a century, Samsonite has continued to build upon its rich design heritage.”

McQueen Updates Samsonite Black Label in Silver

Selectism - McQueen Updates Samsonite Black Label in Silver

The striking rib cage "Hero" luggage that is the signature for Alexander McQueen’s Samsonite Black Label luggage is about to get  a new exterior with some shine – in a limited edition of course. "The shiny exterior, courtesy of a new paint technology, is developed in conjunction with Bayer. First developed for the motor industry, the paint is thermoformable and highly resistant to impact." As well it would seem that the coating is scratch resistant. I’d love to put this claim to the test through Heathrow or Dulles, the kings of airport handling. Fear not fans of the Black Label "Travel" crocodile skinned design. Its getting the shiny treatment too. Look for it come this November. (via li)
