这是专为Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano设计的一款复合聚碳酸钙面料行李箱,Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano是一家即将上市的意大利品牌,专门生产创意独特的箱包。聚碳酸酯体轻而坚固,布盖柔软,便于包装。我们将这个手提箱命名为“kame”,日语中是“乌龟”的意思,因为它的结构与这种动物的坚硬外壳相似。与大多数行李箱不同的是,行李箱盖可以从顶部和侧面拉开拉链,这样当箱子直立时,就可以方便地把东西拿进拿出。它还可以整齐地卷起来,这样即使在汽车和拥挤繁忙的走廊等狭小空间,行李箱也可以打开。卷起来的盖子可以用一个带弹性的带子固定,当不使用时,它可以同时作为手提箱本身的紧固件。内衬有两个网格口袋,很容易为不同的内容量配置。
大多数硬质行李箱的盖子开闭都很重,因为它们也用于储藏,但是这个行李箱很容易开闭,只要把盖子向一边转动。用缆绳锁把手提箱锁紧,我们就可以用一个容易用手指勾住并打开的拉链。
电缆锁也可以让行李箱像自行车一样锁在柱子或扶手上,当你需要暂时把眼睛从它上移开的时候。我们也没有忘记设计的乐趣,并把锁上的数字拨盘上的“0”变成了一个笑脸。这款行李箱有四种颜色,分别是shiro白橙、eclipse蓝和芥末绿。

A hybrid polycarbonate-fabric suitcase for Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano, an upcoming Italian brand specialising in creative, unique suitcases and bags. The polycarbonate body is light yet strong, and the cloth lid supple for easier packing. We named the suitcase ‘kame’, ’tortoise’ in Japanese, for this structural resemblance to the animal with its hard shell. Unlike most suitcases, the lid unzips from the top as well as the side, making it easy to take things in and out of the suitcase when it’s upright. It also rolls up neatly so that the suitcase can be opened even in tight spaces like cars and crowded, busy corridors. The rolled-up lid can be fastened with an elasticised band which doubles as a fastener for the suitcase itself when not in use. The inside lining comes with two mesh pockets and is easily configurable for contents of different volumes.
The lids of most hard suitcases are heavy to open and close, because they’re also used for storage, but this suitcase is easy to open and close by rolling the lid to the side. By fastening the suitcase with a cable lock, we could use a ring zipper that’s easy to hook through a finger and open.
The cable lock also allows the suitcase to be locked to a post or handrail like a bicycle, for times when you need to take your eyes off it for a moment. We didn’t forget to have fun with the design, either, and turned the ‘0’ on the lock’s number dial into a smiley face. The suitcase comes in four colours, shiro white sun orange, eclipse blue, and wasabi green, and in one size: a 550mm cabin case.
