Briggs & Riley unveils new look BRX Collection
Premium luggage manufacturer Briggs & Riley has re-designed, and given a brand new look to, its popular BRX collection, which includes suitcases in a variety of sizes, duffles (weekend bags), backpacks and a toiletry bag.
As with all the Briggs & Riley collections, the BRX items come with a lifetime warranty; Briggs & Riley is the only company to offer such a promise.
Comments Stuart Webb, UK Sales & Business Manager for Briggs & Riley (UK): “Our BRX bags are extremely light making them easy to travel with whether you are spending a long weekend in a country house hotel, or setting off on a trek to conquer Kilimanjaro.
“Though light, they are incredibly durable in design, and made of some of the toughest materials available today; they can easily withstand the careless treatment of an airport baggage handler or the heat and dust of a desert when loaded onto the roof of a truck.
There are 7 bags in the BRX (UK) collection, here are just some examples…
Rugged yet refined, the Excursion Backpack is engineered for any type of travel, making it the ideal airline carry-on. Its large u-shaped top opening provides easy access to the main compartment, while its padded laptop slip pocket keeps you connected on the go. Perfect for that long weekend in Marrakech! The black bag retails for £139.
The Explore International Expandable Wide-Body Upright does what it says on the tin! A tough, stylish and generously proportioned bag, it has many clever and practical features including a front pocket that can house a 17” laptop, outside pockets for quick and easy access to travel documents and a water resistant lid pocket for storing toiletry items. It also has Briggs & Riley’s ‘Add-A-Bag’ system strap, concealed in the top pocket, for securely transporting two or more bags together. The black bag retails for £289.
The Medium Exchange Duffle is like having two bags in one, as it can convert from a smart carry-on to a backpack with padded straps, thanks to the clever zip-away back panel. The adjustable sternum straps keep the backpack from sliding off the shoulders, thus reducing the strain on arms, neck and shoulders. The unique hook system enables the bag to be securely connected to other BRX upright bags for easy transportation. The bag is black in colour and retails for £159.
Whether you are Victoria Beckham or Bear Grylls everyone needs to pack a toiletry bag and BRX has just the answer (actually, Bear probably doesn’t!). The Express Toiletry Kit has a strap that can be converted to a hanging loop to keep it off wet surfaces, a u-zip dry pocket for items such as a hairbrush, cosmetics, etc. and a gusseted wet pocket with water-resistant lining to minimise leaks and protect dry items. The bag retails for £44.99.
