In the aftermath of the deadline-day mega spending of the Football Transfer Window, CASE has decided to examine whether a heavy price tag is always a sign of better quality.  Many have spoken out about the out of this world spending by Roman Abramovich and John Henry on January 31st, in spending over 140 million pounds on just four players.

Now fortunately, these type of prices are not prevalent in the luggage world. However, when it comes to the upper echelons of luxurious luggage, Dutch company HENK certainly comes to mind. With items ranging from £28,000 up to some at £55,000, HENK luggage is definitely a must have for the super-wealthy – both chairman and player alike .

If Andy Carroll is worth 35 million, is HENK worth in excess of £28,000? Well, to be fair to the Dutch company, it can boast some impressive features such as a carbon fiber shell which provides great protection and strength, as well as over 500 individually engineered components, including retractable titanium wheels. HENK offers true unique pieces of luggage with sleek style and incredible convenience. .

In all, can one truly say a piece of luggage is worth £55,000…probably not. However, what one can guarantee is that in buying a HENK piece, you will be purchasing an exclusive item that can indeed boast some impressive hand built features that go some way to justify its high price tag. Add to this the fact that in owning HENK luggage, you will be one of a limited few who own these pieces, and there is the explanation to the growing popularity of this Dutch company.

The HENK collection currently consists of the Travelfriend and some briefcases, both of which can be found in our luggage department at Harrods
