TORQ Collection 26 Sep 2013
Briggs & Riley Launches First Hard-Sided Range

Briggs & Riley Travelware

Leading luxury luggage manufacturer Briggs & Riley has launched its first-ever hard-sided range of cases called 'Torq'.

 

As with all Briggs & Riley products, the cases come with a lifetime, no questions asked, warranty.

 

The range is comprised of three cases: a Carry-on Spinner (which meets the regulations of most UK airlines) and a medium and large Spinner.

 

The cases are made of durable, three-layer, 100% virgin Makrolon® polycarbonate, which is high in strength and lightweight, yet provides both elasticity and resiliency.

 

Torq is available in three colours, cobalt, graphite and ruby and provide the expected durability of hard-sided luggage but with the versatility of a traditional suitcase.

 

Other features of note include:

 

  • Padded slip lid pocket which holds an iPad or tablet in or out of its case (Carry On bag)

 

  • Briggs & Riley's unique 'Outsider' handle allows wrinkle-free flat packing interior and greater packing space

 

  • 80/20 top lid opening allowing bag to be packed on a luggage rack or bed like a traditional suitcase

 

  • Moulded compression panel keeps clothing flat, minimising wrinkling, and prevents contents from shifting in transit

 

  • Aircraft-grade aluminium telescopic handle system, with three stop heights: 34 inches, 37 inches, and 40 inches (medium
    and large bags only)

 

  • The Briggs & Riley Control Panel with integrated TSA-friendly combination lock secures contents in main and front compartments

 

  • 'Smartlink' system strap that enables two or more bags to be transported as one

 

  • Recessed double spinner wheels for lower centre of gravity and effortless 360° navigation, with steel components for added durability

 

Dimensions in centimetres: Carry On - 54.5 x 36.5 x 24, Medium - 66 x 44.1 x 29.2, Large - 73.6 x 51.8 x 32.6.  

 

Recommended retail prices: Carry On £379, Medium £419, Large £449.
