Montblanc Cabin Trolley
Between constantly-growing security lines and shrinking amenities, flying can be a downright drag these days. So it’s no surprise that luggage manufacturers are making smart, stylish bags that minimize the hassle of travel.
The Cabin Trolley from Montblanc is a worldly carry-on crafted in Italy with German mechanics and Japanese high-performance technology. Blending lightweight polycarbonate with elegant leather trimming, it delivers an understated modern design. The 360-degree rotating ball-bearing aluminum wheels offer a quiet, smooth roll and the convenient, adjustable handlebar easily locks in at any height. The spacious interior provides zipped pockets, laptop compartments, and other organizational features for smart storage solutions. Also equipped with a dedicated space for a power bank, the Cabin Trolley is a surefire way to elevate any flight.

Italian-Made Saint Laurent Sunglasses
