Flag bags by Big-Game and Globe-Trotter

Most suitcases are practical, if a little serious. Seeking something more fun, we charged Switzerland-based design trio Big-Game with creating a a space-saving piece of luggage we could proudly roll out during our fashion-week commute. Working with Globe-Trotter on its iconic vulcanised fibreboard cases, Big-Game devised three strap-on geometrical pockets that can be fastened externally or internally -- the bag's outline against the case forming a tongue-in-cheek representation of a national flag in the process (Japan, Brazil and The Netherlands are in the mix). The simple leather compartments, each with a half-zip detail, give great on-the-go access to travel documents.
