Prototyping: Solar Luggage M250 Briefcase
Prototyping: Solar Luggage M250 Briefcase
Friday, 11 May 2012
Inspired by racing and sports cars from the 50s, the M250 from Solar Luggage is a classic, single-minded work – a piece of engineered luggage ideally suited to the discerning GT automobile tourer. Constructed to uncompromising standards from hand-crafted metal and best English bridle leather, the M250 will be available in strictly limited quantities.
Solar Luggage supplied the polished aluminium lid and all brass fittings, which have been individually machined ensuring a completely bespoke, handmade design in the spirit of the cars.
SABEL Saddlery made the briefcase in a high quality light havana bridle leather, lined with powder blue alcantara - often used in car interiors - before the case and its concertina folds were hand-stitched and hand-burnished.
In addition to ongoing projects with Solar Luggage, SABEL Saddlery is also developing other leather prototypes for a range of clients and product types.
