Travelpro and Dominic Ciambrone, known as "The Surgeon," have introduced a custom-built luggage collection designed for elite women collegiate athletes from the University of Southern California. Representing a range of sports, including basketball, track and field, beach volleyball, soccer, and golf, these athletes inspire a collection that reflects the dynamic nature of their lifestyles and dedication to sport.
This exclusive collaboration features a reimagined version of Travelpro's signature hard-side carry-on, enhanced with gold, powder-coated corner guards and custom leather accents. Additionally, the brand’s weekender bag has been redesigned with a burgundy Italian leather base and interwoven shoelace detailing, paying homage to Ciambrone’s expertise in sneaker customization. Each athlete also had the opportunity to personalize their gear at The Surgeon’s Los Angeles studio, incorporating unique co-branded luggage tags, bag charms, shoelaces, and bandanas.
For collectors and travelers, Travelpro and The Surgeon will release a limited run of six customized suitcases and weekenders, available exclusively on Travelpro’s website beginning April 10.
