Luggage from the venerable firm of Swaine Adeney Brigg Ltd. has been favored by the English upper crust since the days of King George III. It is rugged enough to survive decades of service under beastly conditions abroad. And more than distinguished enough to be observed boarding the R.M.S. Mauretania. If you think Swaine Adeney umbrellas are the worldÂ’s best, which they are, you ought to see their suitcases. The Chesterford Suitcase (No. 1926), made to orderfor us by the sameRoyal-Warrant holder that supplies brollies and leather goods to the Windsors. Hand-crafted (a 6-to-12 week process) using bridle-hide leather tanned with English oak bark. Natural linen-thread stitching. Solid brass fittings. Luxurious cotton twill lining. The result preserves traditional style while adding a few sensibletwists—wheels and retractablehandles (scarce porters) and thick, protective canvas covers (automated baggage ramps at Heathrow). Color: Dark London Tan. Sizes (upright) and Prices: 18" high x 13" wide x 7-1/2" deep plus extension handle: $2,600; 22" high x 14-1/2" wide x 8" deep: $2,800; 26" high x 16" wide x 8-1/2" deep: $3,300. Please allow a 12 week lead time for delivery.See less »
