OGN Luxury 2.0

Gone are the Titanic days of packing a trunk full of anything and everything one might need on a trip, especially overseas. Since September 11, when rules and travel changed dramatically, it became everything from the guidelines to strict rules that deemed the shapes and sizes of luggage rather than the designers themselves. Luxury luggage was struck with a bigger challenge than traditional luggage designers. The challenge, therefore, now lies with these créateurs to match beauty and style with functionality all while complying with these strict rules. But these are some of the world's finest designers working to develop the luggage, so the result is inevitably a success.
