History
In 2012 Poulner collaborated with a local carbon-fibre specialist, with a view to expand out of the boating industry and take on a brand new challenge. Together, we designed a visionary new product, a briefcase – simple in its design and manufacture, able to demonstrate and show in specialist outlets, and packed with innovative new features.
We initially targeted a franchise based in Harrods, and also had discussions with Asprey and a supercar specialist, where it was very much admired for its quality and unique design. Unfortunately the retail landscape at the time proved adversarial, so we placed the project on hold and re-strategised.
In 2021 we created a new design, this time in aluminium, following the Art Deco feeling of the 1930’s USA produced Airstream caravan. The series contains four variants in all; normal attaché case with drop-down laptop desk, watch travel, humidor and an eventing case. There are a wide range of finishes that are available to us and of course combined with leather interiors.
