London-based premium travel brand Carl Friedrik introduces a look at its latest designs for the Spring season with the new wonder collection. It is comprised of soft leather bags -- there are three styles, which are 'designed for sartorialists on the move," as the brand describes. This includes the Ayrton Backpack, Dunloe Briefcase, and Granville Weekender as part of the initial drop, suggesting that there may be more to follow.
It was all made using premium materials, leaning to a softer durable full-grain leather. The co-founder of the brand, Mattis Oppermann describes the capsule as sitting at the "intersection between contemporary and classic, marrying traditional design cues with practical innovations for the modern urbanite, whose day might well include travel for work, gym and evening leisure activities.”
