Roll Into Season With Gucci’s Porter Trolleys

When the ubiquitous influencer flaunts the bamboo bag today, the hypebeast vaunts the GG logo and “that’s so Gucci” conveys ‘something cool and awesome’ in contemporary slang—it harks back to a story of hope, of ambition, of a dream that a young lad named Guccio Gucci nurtured. In nineteenth century Florence, he was drawn to the beauty of Italian bags and leather goods.

When he went to London years later, young Guccio worked as a liftboy at the famed Savoy Hotel, carefully observing how society’s well-heeled dressed and travelled; while loading and off-loading their luggage, he carefully studied it— an experience that inspired him to start an artisanal luggage atelier that would go on to become an iconic brand. Since then, Gucci has been much loved and treasured by the discerning, and its bags, suitcases and sundry travel luggage have been a potent part of top tier travel.

The Luggage

‘Made in Italy’—a tag that conjures up a sense of great quality is the hallmark of Gucci goods. Gucci’s travel accessories line Valigeria offers luggage that is carefully constructed employing centuries old traditions and artisanal skills. Entering this season are the Gucci Porter Trolleys in silver aluminium. Created in collaboration with Italian luxury luggage maker FPM Milano, and available in a few guises, every detail here is mainstay and surreptitiously crafted—from the web luggage straps to the butterfly lock closures, retractable and telescopic top handles down to the whisper quiet 360 degree spinner wheels.

At Esquire India, we opine that these Porter Trolleys would make a good investment. Natty enough to look swish on the go and hard enough to ensure durability and protection—they’ll see you smoothly and stylishly glide through any lounge, port or lobby.
