Embrace the Softside with Lipault Paris
The French luggage brand elevates the travel experience for fashionable jet-setters with its signature Plume line.
Soft or hard, a debate as old as time — especially when it comes to air travel. While an impenetrable shell offers optimal protection, softsides are true toughies that can roll with whatever the airport throws at them, and these days they even come in a spectrum of styles to rival their hard-bodied counterparts.
Enter Lipault Paris, the French luggage brand known for their stylish and lightweight travel bags. Their signature Plume line is crafted with a luxe nylon twill that easily withstands the tough love of baggage handlers, emerging runway-ready after being tossed, turned and dragged through airplane cargo. The exterior’s pliable nature means that the suitcases are mostly unbothered by scuffs, scratches and dents, and it’s even reinforced with PVC for added durability and, more importantly, water repellence, shoring up one of the main concerns when it comes to fabric casings.
Beyond toughness, the special weave of the nylon twill perfectly catches the light to deliver vibrant colours in the Plume collection. The eye-catching Rosewood, Smashed Pumpkin and Magnetic Blue, along with the seasonal Fresh Lilac, stand out from the ubiquitous black and navy examples cruising around the airport terminal, and they even come with a graphic webbing to underscore a youthful spirit. Prefer something less livewire? Keep it simple with classic colours that include a rich Bordeaux, but add a personalised tag so that you can immediately spot it at baggage claim. In addition to their statement monochrome look, the newest Plume luggage are equipped with accessible pockets, stable double wheels, built-in TSA lock, and compatibility with any smart-sleeve item in Lipault’s assortment.
The City Plume collection leans into a more urban vibe, facilitating metropolitan travel with functional shapes and contemporary lines. The Weekender is a spacious travel bag with generous pockets that’s perfect for quick getaways, while the Carryall is a casual briefcase that sits comfortably atop a cabin roller during multi-city business trips. For daily downtown jaunts, sling on the compact and versatile 24H Bag, outfitted with plenty of compartments for the various activities in your itinerary.
Other Lipault essentials include the Foldable Plume, which can be compressed and stored neatly away in the tiniest spaces, as well as the Lost In Berlin line of suitcases wrapped in soft-touch rubber. The latter is inspired by the industrial mood of the fashionable city’s underground, its matte and water-repellent polyurethane exterior encapsulating the trendy textile’s high fashion moment. Coupled with padded handles and smooth rolling on four wheels, the super lightweight luggage will enliven your journey with audacious style and practicality.
