Come Fly With Me

The idea of monogrammed steamer trunks is so luxe, but not without a personal butler in tow.

Until our life turns into an Agatha Christie novel, we’re sticking to lightweight luggage that we can hoist on and off a belt without chipping a nail.

At the sleek new Rimowa store on Bloor Street there are plenty of jet-setting options. The signature grooved surface (in a range of gorgeous colours) and ultra light weight (the new Salsa Air series starts at 1.2 kg) makes it a favourite among high-flyers like Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Reese Witherspoon – and us.

With or without Butler Beddoes.
