Hartmann Luggage
By Maxine Greco Hartmann is our oldest premium brand of luggage. This brand has actually been around since 1877. Hartmann considers every detail using the finest leathers, innovative fabrics and unique design details such as hand stitching, self-healing YKK zippers, double-strength handles and protective treatment of all fabrics. Every component of a Hartmann product must pass their rigorous testing requirements before being made available to consumers. Every piece of must undergo the equivalent of 25 round trips per year for 10 years in their Tumble Testing machine. This machine subjects to the abuse produced during heavy airline travel by placing it in a rotating drum equipped with obstacles of different surfaces, including steel edges and rough 80 grit sandpaper. We recently spoke to a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary and they were giving each other a gift of luggage. What did they want? The same they had received as a wedding gift 50 years before. What was that? It was the Hartmann tweed collection of course. While they did view the new styles in the upright cases, they decided on the old-fashioned Pullman cases without wheels in the classic wood box construction. The cases were monogrammed for them and they were quite happy. The Tweed collection from Hartmann has endured because of its custom-woven, resilient and easy-care nylon tweed fabric. The cases are all trimmed in Hartmann’s famous soft, abrasion-resistant Belting leather.
Hartmann makes several different series and colors. The Intensity collection is made of ballistic nylon in coffee or black. This is the same ballistic nylon fabric that is used in bulletproof vests. These colors match the original Intensity collection. The styles are newer and the material is stronger, but it has the same classic look. This series is trimmed in full-grain leather with antique brass or matte black nickel finished hardware. Hartmann considers their wheels and frame system to be one of the most durable in the industry. The walnut tweed with natural belting leather trim is traditional elegance at it's best. Many of the pieces in this collection are made entirely of the natural belting leather. These leather cases epitomize timeless style and exceptionally elegant design. The rich luster of the leather becomes more handsome
and unique with age and use.
The Wings collection from Hartmann continues to be our best selling line of Hartmann luggage. It has an old-world luxury reminiscent of a bygone era yet is designed for today's sophisticated global traveler. Cognac belting leather complements the exclusive diamond monogram patterned jacquard fabric pieces. Many of the pieces in this collection are made entirely of cognac belting leather, which make this collection among the most enduring collections in the world.
Relatively new to the Hartmann collection is their Luxe collection. This is fashionable vintage-inspired fabrics with the practical functionality demanded by today's well-traveled consumers. This is a limited collection made from exclusive wool fabrics and trimmed with handsome full-grain leather to provide long-lasting durability.
Hartmann always offers first-class durability and performance. Their cases include zip toiletry pouch with waterproof lining, drawstring laundry, and a piggyback strap to allow simple one-handed attachment of additional bags, leather tag and removable garment sleeve in all deluxe and expandable mobile travelers.
