In fact, the new luxury baggage collection from Rolls-Royce is for the “wealthy Joe,” a person that can afford a $45,000 set of bags. The six-piece collection is designed to follow the “unparalleled design aesthetics of Rolls-Royce motor cars,” says Michael Bryden, the brand’s designer.

Rolls-Royce blended traditional crafts with the latest materials and techniques to accomplish a truly elegant and contemporary luggage collection. Naturally, the set of bags fits the trunk of the Wraith, the model whose name it bears.

If you are wondering, Rolls-Royce is not asking $45,000 just for design, but for the fact that these pieces are made of carbon-fiber and wrapped in hand-stitched leather. Furthermore, each bag features a “Spirit of Ecstasy” figurine, while the elements with wheels on them have the brand’s double-R emblem and a luxury finish.

Considering these details, we are confident these items are sturdy, but we would not trust them in a commercial airliner. Not in the baggage hold, where they would be thrown on conveyor belts and in a baggage carousel. Even if the latter were clean and clear, we would not endure the thought that the precious elements might get scratches from poor handling.

For that matter, you must make sure the valet at the luxury hotel you probably visit with these bags on hand figures out that your baggage should be handled with extra care. Just in case you find the new luxury luggage set by Rolls-Royce to be too mainstream, the company provides an additional level of personalization, which allows each assortment to match the owner’s car in the same color combination.

Some might call this “matchy-matchy,” but there’s an old saying that states “the customer is always right.” This might be true for Rolls-Royce’s bespoke department, considering their availability for this color matching possibility.
