Available in black or brown, this ingenious bag allows you to transport your suit without creasing it. Designed by the British house Bennett Winch, this elegant Tuscan leather holdall combines a duffel bag with a garment cover that discreetly wraps around it. Everything is secured using a series of magnetic fasteners and zip straps, ensuring that your clothes remain perfectly in place during your travels. And good news: according to Bennett Winch, this travel companion is most often accepted as carry-on luggage by airlines!
