As frequent travellers who are constantly on the move for both business and pleasure, we understand the importance of high-quality luggage that can keep up with our lifestyle. Over the past few months, we’ve had the pleasure of using a great selection of travel products from the German brand Kapten & Son, and we can confidently say this brand delivers on all fronts. We’ve been on cruise ships, planes, trains and coaches in the last three months, and this luggage has proven to be invaluable!

Kapten & Son is known for its effortlessly stylish designs, and the moment we laid eyes on their luggage, we were immediately smitten by the sleek, contemporary design. But this isn’t just about good looks; the efficiency of this travel range is just as impressive. The full-size suitcase has been with us on several trips, and despite being loaded to the brim, it’s remained incredibly durable. The hard shell casing is not only strong enough to take on the rough handling of all forms of travel, but also retains its stunning finish, so it continues to look smart journey after journey.

One of the standout features is how smoothly the suitcases roll; four wheels make a huge difference! Whether we’re dashing through terminals or running on cobbled European streets, the wheels glide effortlessly, making travel that much more comfortable. The ergonomic handle system is well designed, adjusting easily to suit different heights and allowing for a relaxed grip over long distances.

Another feature we love is the inside case organisation system. Each case includes thoughtfully designed packing bags, making it easy to separate clothing, shoes, and accessories, a small detail that goes a long way in streamlining packing and unpacking. Kapten & Son has taken into consideration the needs of all travellers.

We’ve also been using the weekend suitcase, which is perfect for shorter trips. It’s lightweight and spacious enough for a few days’ worth of clothes, and slips easily into overhead compartments. This has quickly become our go-to for city breaks or press trips where we need to travel light but still look stylish.

Beyond the luggage, Kapten & Son’s backpack-style bags have been a real game-changer. We’ve tested several models, and each one is comfortable to wear, even when fully packed, thanks to padded straps and back panels. These bags blend style and practicality perfectly. They have compartments for laptops, water bottles, passports and more,  exactly what we need to stay organised while on the move.

What we love most about Kapten & Son is that their products are designed for all travellers who demand more from their luggage. Everything feels first-class, from the materials to the stitching, and you can feel the brand’s German excellence in every detail.

We can honestly say our travel experiences have been made smoother and more stylish thanks to Kapten & Son. If you’re looking for luggage that’s built to last, looks fantastic, and supports your every journey, we highly recommend this stunning, strong, and sophisticated brand.
