Carl Friedrik launches new ‘Rover’ collection of premium bags “for today’s modern traveller”

London-based luxury leather goods brand Carl Friedrik has today launched a new premium five-piece collection of bags under the ‘Rover’ banner – targeting modern travellers – including two backpacks, a tote bag, a ‘getaway weekender’ and a ‘compact weekender’.

The new lightweight collection comes at the helm of the brand’s 10-year anniversary this November, and hones in on today’s “hybrid working and digital nomad travel”, featuring pieces in luxurious soft nubuck.

The ‘Everyday Backpack’ has expandable capabilities and hidden passport and laptop compartments, while the ‘Getaway Weekender’ has a crease-proof suit compartment and pockets for two pairs of shoes.

The ‘Anywhere Tote’ includes a unique zipper locking system that allows it to be used as both a shopping tote and an office laptop bag.

Carl Friedrick was founded in 2012 by Swedish brothers Mattis and Niklas Oppermann.

Co-Founder, Niklas Oppermann, said: “The launch of our soft nubuck bag collection is evidence of our continued commitment to supporting urban travellers, who, now more than ever, want multi-purposeful designs but with a more casual aesthetic.”

Mattis Oppermann, Co-Founder and Designer, added: “We are excited to introduce nubuck for the first time as it is as long lasting as leather, but softer and more pliable. Its smooth surface allows us to give the products an urban, easy-going character but with an opulent touch.”

The new ‘Rover’ collection is available exclusively on the Carl Friedrik website from today, with prices ranging from £375 - £595.
