Porsche Design has introduced a new customizable luggage line, the Roadster Aluminum Trolley, allowing buyers to personalize their travel gear with six accent colors. The luggage features customizable handles, wheels, and a name tag in Porsche-inspired shades, including Black, Dark Blue, Silver, Grey, Carmine Red, and Cognac.
The largest 30-inch check-in size is priced at $1,925, while the 26-inch model costs $1,820. The smaller carry-on-sized version starts at $1,595. These prices are slightly lower than those on Porsche’s online marketplace.
Customization Options and Design
The Roadster Aluminum Trolley retains the same design as the model introduced last year, featuring stamped aluminum panels mounted to a structural frame with no visible rivets or chunky corner pieces. Porsche Design drew inspiration from the aluminum roll hoop of the original 911 Targa for its aesthetic.
The luggage also includes an integrated TSA lock preset to “911.” Buyers can mix and match colors, creating a unique, personalized look for their luggage.
Pricing and Availability
On BRIC’S website, the customizable Roadster Aluminum Trolley is available in three sizes:
- 30-inch check-in: $1,925
- 26-inch model: $1,820
- Carry-on size: Starting at $1,595
While the luggage offers customization, it functions similarly to other high-end travel bags in terms of security and durability. The primary appeal lies in its personalized design, which may appeal to Porsche enthusiasts looking to showcase their brand loyalty.
“The only real difference here is that they do it while potentially signalling to other car enthusiasts that these bags are more customized than the car they drove to the airport.”
