The Travelteq iPad Case

Filed under: Gadgets

There's a new member in the Travelteq family, and it's not a new suitcase or bag but a sleek iPad case. Handmade of Florentine Vacchetta leather it's made to be more than just a basic sleeve and is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, like everything in Travelteq's line. It folds into three different positions for comfortable use on your lap, on a plane, while in bed, or even at your desk at work, and there's even a little leather pocket for your business cards. Although it has a distinctly masculine vibe I say it's a great option for business-savvy women as well. $295

Travelteq Suitcase Goes Where None Have Gone Before

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels

It looks like a suitcase, but looks are about the only thing the Trip by Travelteq has in common with genus Carryonus Baggus. Two years in the making, it is from the Transformers school of usefulness: a kangaroo compartment in front makes retrieval of your laptop easy, and then you can work on it by turning the hardshell into a chair, extending the wheels, raising the handle and sliding the padded top section forward. It can also be had with its own integrated sound system – detachable speakers that turn the Trip into a go-everywhere iPod dock that can go 12 hours on a charge. There's a USB port for charging your other portables, to boot.

Those features haven't been left to wither in a poorly built enclosure, either. The Trip, all of just 14 pounds, is built of aluminum honeycomb, with aluminum legs on gas springs and an aluminum honeycomb seat, and can support a fatigued traveler weighing more than 300 pounds. Stainless steel pins keep it closed when you need, and the rubber wheels run on skate bearings and can be swapped out for different colors. If you can't imagine why you'd need a suitcase seemingly built for a mission to Andromeda... maybe you just haven't gone far enough afield yet. The Trip is €795 ($1,039 U.S.) at www.travelteq.com.

Traveteq Adds Trash Messenger and Trash 17-Inch Laptop Bags

Filed under: Handbags

Travelteq describes itself as "travelers for travelers," as in having products for those on-the-go made by those on-the-go. It would be far more accurate to amend that to "discerning travelers for connoisseurs of travel." Earlier this year the company launched a line of totes called "Trash" consisting of Florentine Vachetta leather outers in black (Panther) or brown (Fox) that envelop a water-resistant nylon compartment section available in three hues. The line has now been added to with the Trash Messenger, Trash 17-inch, and Trash Cougar bags.

The series was already brimming with conveniences for movers and flyers: exterior business card and newspaper pockets, a loop for sliding the bag over your roller suitcase, sunglass, cellphone and pen pockets that you could access without unzipping the bag, and four interior compartments – two large and two small. That makes nine, count them, nine in total. With the pocket thing handled, a clamor arose for a larger bag and one that could be slung over the shoulder, needs that the Messenger and 17-inch totes now fill.

As for the slightly smaller Trash Cougar, we're not sure what kind of traveler that bag caters to but we suppose you'll know if it's you. Every Travelteq bag is made by hand, in Italy, and they start at €395 ($495 U.S.) for the Trash original.
