New Luggage Collection-Chloe Included

Wow-we were so wanting the new limited edition luggage collection by Samsonite Black Label , it was tough to walk out of NY's Bryant Park Hotel’s Cellar Bar empty handed after the February 5th presentation. The bags really made us want to travel but forget about checking in the stylish carryalls-if you want them when you get to your destination.
Quentin MacKay, Samonite’s Global Creative Director has sure best sellers with the 1920’s/30’s inspired, durably handmade uprights, beauty case, and trunk featuring handsome silver finish hardware (TSA functionable!) with the Heritage Black set…and shiny gold finish hardware with the Steamship Cream versions.
The interiors were lined with colorful nostalgic flower prints or exotic travel labels… and sport functional touches such as pouches and canvas shoe/laundry bags, interior mirrors, inside pockets, removable shoulder straps etc.
Plus, the hardest working talent Chloe Sevigny popped in to talk about the line after her fashion label Opening Ceremony’s Webster Hall soiree the night prior and shooting advertisements all day for Uniqlo.
No wonder she looked a bit fatigued.
