Carl Friedrik, the leather and travel goods brand, recently launched the Rover collection designed for "today's modern traveler." The new series boasts innovative materials and multipurpose styles to meet the needs of contemporary, on-the-go consumers. The line merges the luxuriously soft nubuck and vachetta leather with a meticulously functional design.
The five-piece collection includes the Everday Backpack, the Getaway Weekender, the Anywhere Tote, and two fold-top backpacks. The series is available in four versatile colors -- black, chocolate, olive, and charcoal.
"We are excited to introduce nubuck for the first time as it is as long-lasting as leather but softer with more pliability. Its smooth surface allows us to give the products an urban, easy-going character but with an opulent touch," said Mattis Oppermann, the co-founder and designer.
The new Carl Friedrik five-piece Rover collection will be available starting July 29th on the brand's website.
