Venerable American Heritage Luggage Brand, Hartmann, arrives in Kuwait
Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Hartmann®, the definitive purveyor of the finest quality luggage and leather goods, has been the chosen brand by many a sophisticated traveller since its inception in 1877. The sophisticated range of Hartmann products showcasing stylish forms and refined details is now available in Kuwait, much to the delight of the prestigious clientele taken by the brand’s elegant styling and intelligent functionality. Now discerning travellers in Kuwait may appreciate, peruse and indulge in the elegance and timelessness of Hartmann’s luxury collection.
The quality craftsmanship, engineered precision and savoir-faire of stylish carrying bags have become the stalwarts behind the revered reputation of Hartmann. Duly committed to quality and the heritage of its American luxury-travel past, Hartmann is a brand not only renowned for design innovation, product performance and luxurious fashion-oriented luggage but also one which anticipates the evolving needs and styles of the discriminating excursionist. From the stylish, yet practical trunks, to iconic Pullmans accompanying the well-heeled aboard steamliners and railways; to the first aircraft-bespoke three-piece luggage wardrobe created to 747 cabin specifications in the 1970s, Hartmann has always combined elegance with technical function.
It is this enduring tradition of excellence that has garnered the brand a following of luminaries like the First Lady Frances Cleveland, who possessed a honeymoon wardrobe trunk in 1886, and Ian Fleming who immortalized the brand in his 1954 novel Live and Let Die leading to the Hartmann Skymate case, toted by Roger Moore in the film of the same name. Designed to endure the journeys of their owners, Hartmann employs a long history of quality combined with modern day technology to create luggage ideal for a variety of travelers.
2015 has seen the introduction of Hartmann 7R range, a brand new premium luggage collection which was created as an ode to the restless gene 7R, a genetic deviation that occurs in 20% of the population, and is responsible for risk taking behaviour. It is this gene that makes us explore new places, new ideas and new opportunities. This commitment to design and product innovation was recognized recently when the Hartmann 7R collection won a coveted Red Dot ‘Best of the Best’ Award.
Targeted at the high-end market segment, the made in Europe collection was developed to explore new techniques and materials whilst pushing the boundaries of lightness and strength. The range was specifically designed with a restless breed in mind: entrepreneurs, risk takers, explorers, intelligent, and well-travelled people who want to change the world.
To make the strongest luggage, the shells are sculpted into a reptile pattern scale made from Curv® material for outstanding protection and scratch resistance, which also adds to the visual strength of the case. Through very advanced and innovative mould construction the shells made out of Curv material boast fully recessed zippers, integrating the PU covered zipper for a soft touch, secure look and ultimate water resistance. Finally, advanced wheel technology ensures convenient travelling and seamless maneuverability when on the road with smooth rolling, silent wheels. Spring wire steel wheels provide excellent strength and resistance whilst innovative technology ensures there is minimal impact to the shell and wheel housing by leveraging the flexible spring wire when in transit. The Hartmann 7R collection is the first of many high quality luggage collections to be released in Europe.
As part of their commitment to the highest standards of quality, every Hartmann product is endorsed by a Lifetime Worldwide Warranty.
Hartmann is now available at following Samsonite stores: Al Hamra Luxury center 22270242 I The Avenues 22597730
