70s Skate Culture-Inspired Luggage

Floyd Luggage Has a Retro Vibe and Durable Design

— June 15, 2019 — World
The Floyd Luggage cases are a retro-inspired lineup of travel essentials that promise to provide unparalleled durability for those on the road without skimping on style.

The suitcases are all inspired by 70s skateboard culture, which is evident with the bright red polyurethane wheels and retro color finishes to offer travelers a hip option to choose when heading off on a journey. Each of the cases are outfitted with a TSA-approved combination lock and feature a polycarbonate Makrolon exterior that will provide lightweight durability.

The Floyd Luggage suitcases were created by Bernd Gerogi and Horst Kern, and come as a part of a larger shift towards retro aesthetics in consumer products as brands seek to bring back the best elements of the past.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Aesthetics in Consumer Products - As brands seek to bring back the best elements of the past, there is an opportunity to create consumer products with a retro style inspired by past trends.
2. Durable Design - There is an opportunity to create travel essentials with polycarbonate Makrolon exterior that ensure unmatched durability for frequent travelers.
3. Tsa-approved Combination Locks - There is a trend to create traveler-friendly products that come with TSA-approved combination locks to ensure security while traveling.
Industry Implications

3. Fashion Industry - Fashion designers can create apparel and accessories inspired by retro aesthetics, as evident in the Floyd Luggage cases, to cater to the market demand for vintage-inspired products.
