Luxury travel brand Carl Friedrik and British fashion house Hackett London have expanded their partnership with two new additions: the Compact Weekender and the cabin-friendly Carry-on X. This latest release builds on their successful collaboration, which first launched in 2024. Notably, the Carry-on X, an award-winning travel bag, gained pop culture recognition as the preferred cabin luggage of Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession.
The Carry-on X: Award-Winning Design
Designed for modern travelers, the Carry-on X features a durable 43L capacity with an aluminum frame and polycarbonate shell. Moreover, the bag’s thoughtful design includes an easy-access front pocket with dedicated compartments for passports, personal essentials, and a secure laptop sleeve with a Velcro strap. Inside, the main compartment is divided into two sections, both equipped with compression straps in an “X” shape for efficient packing. Additionally, one side includes a zippered compression pad. Furthermore, vegetable-tanned leather accents elevate the design, appearing on the side and top handles, as well as a co-branded logo patch inside.
The Compact Weekender: Sleek and Functional
The Compact Weekender, designed for overnight stays, boasts a 24L capacity with a minimalist aesthetic. Made from smooth yet durable nubuck leather, it features four pockets, including a quick-access slip pocket, and weighs just 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg). Similarly, like the Carry-on X, it arrives in Hackett London’s signature navy and green color palette, seamlessly complementing Carl Friedrik’s existing collection.
Availability and Pricing
The latest collection from Carl Friedrik and Hackett London is available now, with prices starting at £395 GBP ($545 USD). As a result, these stylish yet functional travel essentials cater to those who appreciate craftsmanship, practicality, and timeless design.
