Most hard-sided suitcases are made from plastic materials, which is something the PROJECTKIN KIN Carry-on suitcase aims to change. Designed by Boris Berlin, the suitcase features a natural fiber shell that's crafted from a mixture of flax with biodegradable plastic, while the interior has a 100% flax linen lining. The handles on the suitcase are made from vegetable-tanned leather from cows that haven't been bred for leather products, while the TSA-approved design of the luggage makes it ready for the terminal.
The PROJECTKIN KIN Carry-on suitcase is available in two earth color options and helps to offer eco-conscious consumers with an alternative accessory for bringing their essentials with them when hitting the road. The suitcase is priced at $379 and boasts a water-resistant exterior.
