Eagle Creek was established in the USA in 1975. Their products are designed to make travel easier for you. Not only that, but for over thirty years Eagle Creek has been tinkering with the best way to design and build travel gear that lasts a lifetime.

Throughout the history of the company, Eagle Creek has been committed to providing travellers with a complete travel system, from a main bag to packing and organization solutions, to security, comfort and everyday essentials wherever you may go. Today, Eagle Creek is the only brand that provides a complete Travel System of products that are perfect for any trip and every traveller. The brand continues to lead the market with innovation in adventure travel gear, luggage and packing solutions for active, adventurous souls.

In 1996, Eagle Creek introduced the Pack-It™ System, a series of Folders, Cubes and Sacs made to help organize travellers worldwide, by changing the way people pack. For more information about these products, please watch the video below or visit our website to explore specific items.

 

Our latest addition to the Eagle Creek range, is this Crossroad Roll-Away. This lightweight roller duffel bag features a convenient collapsible design for compressed storage. The sturdy pull handles enable easy movement of the bag, whilst the corner bumpers and Bi-Tech™ bottom help protect the bag against damage. You will find two-way lockable zippers and finger friendly zipper pulls on the main compartment & there are exterior side compression straps and a panel on the front that opens fully to enable easy access for packing.

Why we love Eagle Creek

Eagle Creek travel gear is smart, indestructible and comfortable. As a company of travellers, they are keenly aware of the environmental impact of everything they produce and as a result they strive to minimize material waste and source and manufacture with the least environmentally impactful fabrics, trims and packaging materials. Eagle Creek customers carry their pieces for years, as the company aims to make bags that lasts a lifetime.

Its not a long story, but has to be told. After Carlos Tevez antics last night, Mancini said he would be packing his bags, NO MATTER WHAT (duffles by Eagle Creek). We can certainly expect to see him put on the TRANSFER (wheeled holdalls by Eastpak) list in January, if not sooner. And before you know it, he will be ARRIVE (luxury luggage by Tumi) at a new club. Having said that, who would want him with that attitude? He may end up being put out to pasture at New York COSMO(S)LITE (hard side luggage from Samsonite).

4) Samsonite –Cosmolite Range

As our last (and first!) Twitter Competition was such a large success, we have decided to launch a new one, this time offering a great Eagle Creek Organized Traveler Cube Set!

The set includes 3 of Eagle Creeks well known Pack-It® System Products – a Cube, Half-Cube and Quarter Cube. Together, the set can hold all your travel clothing essentials including jeans and sweaters (Cube), and tee-shirts, underwear and socks (Half and Quarter Cube).

The rules are the same as before, you just need to follow @caseluggage and then retweet the competiton tweet to be entered into the draw to win this great prize.

The competition goes live today, with it closing at the end of the month and a winner being announced shortly after!

So start following @caseluggage and re-tweet…there’s a prize to win!

The contest is now over for the caseluggage.com  awards, it was a hardly fought contest, and after two nerve-racking, grueling weeks of voting, the results are in! It would be cruel to all the brands nominated to further lengthen the process, so just below are the results! Congratulations to all the winners, and commiserations to all those who are not taking home a caseluggage.com award, there is always next year!

 

 

Best New Range Launch:

 

1) Alpha Bravo by TUMI  (36%)2) Vapor by TUMI  (32%)

3) Salsa Air by RIMOWA  (23%)

This was a closely fought contest between three great ranges, that attracted the greatest number of votes. At the start of the voting process it seemed as if the Vapor range was the obvious winner, but after some late voting the Alpha Bravo stole the top spot just before the count!

 

Best New Colour in a Range:

1) City – Vapor Produced by TUMI  (35%)

2) Violet – Cosmolite Produced by SAMSONITE  (30%)

3) Gold – Cosmolite Produced by SAMSONITE  (20%) 

Samsonite did extremely well in this category, giving merit to the wonderful Cosmolite range, but were just short on taking the Gold prize. Again, it was a close contest with the Violet Cosmolite looking certain to win but it seems that the same TUMI flurry in the last category struck again with the City print robbing Samsonite of the victory.

 

Best Leading Design Piece:

 1) TUMI – Knox Backpack  (35%)

2) BRICS – Thermoform Trolleys  (29%)

3) RIMOWA – Salsa Air Cabin Case  (24%)

Again, and possibly this was a theme of the caseluggage.com awards, TUMI won another award. However, out of all the categories this was the most closely fought, resulting in a situation where there were just two votes between 1st and 3rd. All three were deserving winners, however, as is the nature of competition there must always be winners and losers. Congratulation again to TUMI!

 

Best New Business Collection:

1) Wheeled Briefcases by TUMI  (72%)

2) Bayswater by KNOMO  (17%)

3) Touraine by LE TANNEUR  (11%)

This was a walkover by TUMI, with their competitors not even coming close. Both Knomo and Le Tanneur will be disappointed with their performances however, at times one must simply recognize the great work done by TUMI in their business collection and just admire it. 

 

Best Supporting Accessory:

1) NIO Security Tag by NIO  (38%)

2) iPad Cover by KNOMO  (24%)

3) Riley Wash Kit by TUMI  (19%)

TUMI only just missed out and would have taken all 5 awards if it weren’t for the genius design and originality of the NIO Security Tag. The NIO took an early lead in the voting and then never looked back, comfortably winning by 14%. We at CASE are very excited about this product and think it has a very bright future, well done NIO!

And thus, there comes the end to the 2011 caseluggage.com Awards. A big congratulations to all those who took home awards and better luck next year to those who just missed out. Thanks must also be paid to all those who voted in the awards, we all hope your favourites won! However, sadly, with good news always comes bad and today Hollywood lost one of it’s most famous stars with the sad passing of on and off screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, who died after a long battle against illness. She will always be remembered for her double Oscar winning perfomances and her parts in such films as Cleopatra with ex husband Richard Burton.

The King’s Speech reigned supreme at last Sunday’s Oscars, with the British Film picking up a massive 4 Oscars. However, the Awards season is not quite over yet, as the last major event of the calendar is still to come. I am of course referring to the CASE Academy Awards, where we at CASE recognize all the amazing achievements made by particular brands and pieces of luggage throughout the past  year.

Below is a list of the categories and a short list for the winners of these awards. Please feel free to comment on this blog piece with your suggestions for who should win what. Each nominee is linked to their product page, so have a look and decide for yourselves! Votes will also be taken throughout all the CASE stores and the awards will be announced on the CASE blog shortly, so make sure to check!

Good luck to all the nominees!

After much anticipation and waiting , we finally have the announcement that William and Kate will be getting married. Once they get the minor job of dates, venue, and which set of parents picks up what part of the bill, they will quickly turn their thoughts to honeymoon and of course what luggage to take.

If you ask the guys at Italian favourites Brics, they will tell you that William waited until they had perfected their new Rodeo Life Spinner  trolleys which will be launching in December. In fact the clue was in the new advert which features Italian Eros aiming an arrow of love at the featured trolley case. Lightweight, highly manoeuvrable and most importantly stylish , these cases, with the addition of extra Rodeo Life holdalls, beauty cases and garment bags will be perfect for a European Luxury honeymoon.

For a more casual , adventure based holiday, they should be focussing on Eagle Creek luggage and packing accessories, as well as T Tech by Tumi Duffles and Trolley Cases.  Eagle Creek Packing Accessories are ideal for carefully and neatly packing Shirts in to  Folders, and Socks and underwear in to Cubes. Tumi’s new T Tech Duffles – the Pershing and Lobos have been best sellers this year for all types of Adventure Travel.

 

 

Finally, if the new Royal couple decide to have their Wedding List at Harrods, then we have just introduced a new range designed by the eponymous Wedding Dress designer Vera Wang for Hartmann. Elegantly designed with a more feminine touch, Vera Wang has developed a luggage collection that epitomizes her classic modern aesthetic and incorporates unexpected details reflecting her iconic style. Known for her nonchalant approach to fashion and luxury, Vera Wang’s luggage collection resonates with her signature layering, intricate draping and exquisite attention to detail. Prices range from £295 to £595.

 

Whatever they choose, we are sure they will have a fantastic time, and they like you can always give us a call or pop in store to get further advice.

Where do you think they should go on honeymoon??
