Bespoke England Globe-Trotter Orient Attache Briefcase
The Bespoke England Globe-Trotter Orient is truly exquisite and is the only collection of luggage to feature an urushi lacquered finish. Urushi, the rust coloured sap drawn from the urushi tree native to Japan, has been used in traditional Japanese arts as far back as 4000bc and bestows the Orient with an incomparable beauty and aesthetic.
To create the Orient’s remarkable exterior, each suitcase is hand-crafted by a single, master Japanese artisan working from his studio in Tokyo. Here he hand lacquers the vulcanised fibreboard with several layers of urushi, before applying a final coating of clear gloss to accentuate the extraordinary natural beauty of this material.
Since the appearance of the urushi will vary according to the conditions in which it dries, each Orient suitcase carries its own unique patina and features the finest champagne coloured silk lining.
I love the rich color and the amount of detail on this briefcase. I would love to pair this item with a warm double button single breasted suit to make a great impression. At this price it’s a steal.
I would like to see the briefcase in person. The color looks overwhelming and the glare may be hiding its true beauty
