Dagne Dover Launched Its First-Ever Rolling Luggage Collection
21.06.2024 - 14:05 / cntraveler.com
If you’ve been in an airport at any point during the last decade (and we’re guessing you have if you’re reading this), then you’re familiar with Dagne Dover’s ubiquitous Dakota backpack. Made out of squishy, durable neoprene and available in a kaleidoscope of trendy colors ranging from a mauve-y Dune to the chartreuse Piña, the pack has garnered legions of fans not only for its sporty-yet-chic design, but its clever features like a luggage sleeve and an included shoe bag.
In recent years, the Dakota has become my favorite travel companion, which made me even more excited to test out the brand’s first-ever line of rolling luggage, which launched on June 21. The collection, dubbed Travel 2.0, includes two sizes of checked rolling luggage (28.5" and 25"), two carry-ons (23.5" and 20.5"), four sizes of packing cubes, and two types of garment bags, all available in four colorways—(Onyx, Dark Moss, Warm Dust, and Ash). Similar to the cult-favorite backpacks, these pieces are engineered to help you travel smarter, while still turning heads in the terminal.
“For years people have been asking us, ‘When are you going to come out with luggage?’” says Dagne Dover CEO and co-founder Melissa Mash. “They want something that’s modern—that feels like our generation—but also has the functionality that accounts for all the things they’re traveling with. They haven’t seen that yet for luggage, so I think that’s going to be a big piece of the appeal of our bags.” One telling example? Dagne Dover’s garment bag extends out to a generous 67" length, which means it can accommodate a long dress (hello wedding season!) without the train getting scrunched up at the bottom.
All in, the process from initial ideation to completion took about three years. “We knew it would require a lot of R and D, market research, focus grouping, surveying, and then also just testing the product ourselves,” says Jessy Dover, chief creative officer and co-founder. The brand’s fastidious attention to detail has paid off: The new pieces are not only extremely user-friendly, but, well, super cute, too. Read on to hear what I love most about a few new pieces in the collection, after taking them on a nearly weeklong trip to the Franciacorta region of Italy as well as a long-weekend jaunt to Hotel Le Toiny in St. Barths.
The brand’s rolling luggage is divided into two categories, checked and carry-on, but all of the pieces feature the same ultra-durable and water-resistant exterior made with recycled 900 D poly fabric. Each carry-on and checked suitcase also features padded handles that make lugging them out of overhead bins far more comfortable, zippers that allow you to open it from the front or clamshell-style, and the smoothest 360-degree wheels I’ve
