I’ve called aluminum luggage the hottest bag design trend of the 2020s for obvious reasons.
Over the last two years alone, newcomers like Sterling Pacific and Monos to Porsche Design and Muji have all entered the market, hoping to grab a piece of the luxury travel pie.
But despite all the activity from upstarts, Zero Haliburton, one of the earliest players in the space, is still managing to show the rest of the market how it’s done.
Classic Design Meets Modern Manufacturing
Zero HalliburtonAs our friends at Acquire Mag first spotted, Zero Halliburton has dropped an impressive reissue of it’s earliest aluminum luggage designs first introduced in 1946.
Like pre-existing Zero Halliburton aluminum luggage pieces, the so-called Heritage Line, not to be confused with the existing Classic Aluminum Line, maintains the company’s distinctive “double-rib” shell pattern.
But in this case, 6000 series aluminum – which the brand touts is “prized for strength” yet “notoriously hard to shape,” thinned to just a 1mm thickness via a “unique press-forming method” and “precise heat control,” allowed the brand to streamline the suitcase’s look in manner that’s somehow both subtle and striking.
