Considering that one of the designs was inspired by a [typewriter case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardshell-carryon-suitcase), I was even more delighted given my writing profession. Comprised of two pieces, the FASR x Alstermo Bruk cases are dubbed 'Typewriter' and 'Skew.' Priced at $510 and $490, respectively, these [unconventionally shaped luggage pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-x-rick-owens-original-cabin-bronze) are full of character, making them worth the price tag. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vintage-inspired Luggage:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating modern luggage designs with a nostalgic aesthetic. - **Unconventional Shapes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing luggage with unique shapes for added character and functionality. - **Personalized Travel Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in offering customizable luggage options to cater to individual preferences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Travel Goods Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in manufacturing vintage-inspired luggage with premium materials and modern features. - **E-commerce Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in selling unique and personalized travel accessories online, catering to niche markets. - **Fashion and Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in collaborating with luggage brands to create unconventional and eye-catching designs for fashion-forward consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Hard-Shell Trunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bounce-checkin-trunk.md) - [Timepiece-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-aeroease.md) - [Personality-Forward Luggage Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airs-luggage.md) - [Uniquely Constructed Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-luggage-collection.md) - [Textured 60s-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-hammerschlag-collection.md) - [Textural Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carryon-x-core-collection.md) - [Grooved Aluminum Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-5.md) - [Tech Accessory Luggage Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-travel.md) - [70s Skateboard Culture Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floyd-travel-cases.md)
