LAT_56 is leading the revolution in innovative luggage with their Red-Eye Carry-On Garment Bag which boasts impressive wrinkle-free suit packing technology and a stylish aesthetic – an essential for any frequent flyer or business traveller. LAT_56 was founded by award-winning Scottish designer, Kevin Fox. The company was launched at an exclusive Champagne event in Selfridges, London, Autumn of 2010. It was here where the first ever bag was purchased. Since then LAT_56 has carved a name for itself as one of the most premium, exclusive performance travel product brands available. Enjoying corporate partnerships with world class premium brands such as Emirates Airline, LAT_56 is an exciting, cutting edge luggage label that promises to leave its mark on the industry.

You have never seen, felt, packed or carried anything like them. Ultra-modern, urban and utilitarian, LAT_56’s patented luggage, bags and accessories break all the moulds of traditional baggage. Headquartered in Scotland, with regional offices in California, London and Hong Kong, LAT_56 is an edgy and exclusive brand for the modern traveller. Through a combination of streamlined functionality and strong aesthetics, their bags have been designed to last a lifetime. The brand's mission is simple: to create the best possible travel products.

The flagship product of their Urban Warrior collection is the iconic and updated Red-Eye Carry-On Garment Bag. The Red-Eye is large enough to accommodate overnight travel needs yet small enough to be fantastically portable. It is the ideal travel companion for short business trips. This compact, lightweight, carry-on approved garment bag includes the patented ‘Suit Packing System’ (SPS™) for the ultimate crease-free garment technology. The bespoke textile garment bag and torso shaped hanger allows suits to be rolled rather than folded meaning that they emerge pristine at the other end of a journey. This proven, lab-tested process was designed in consultation with Savile Row tailors to ensure the highest level of care for business garments. The interior of the bag oozes quality and luxury with a soft red lining. The bag is deceptively large, providing an additional kit chamber which offers space for overnight essentials: spare clothing, shirts and ties, shoes, underwear and toiletries.

Modern and minimalist, the Red-Eye Carry-On Garment Bag is made from an exclusive, military-grade EVA material that acts as a soft and flexible yet tough and water-resistant shell. The exterior is completely contemporary and features a honeycomb embossed pattern. The smooth, waterproof exterior zippers are practically invisible, adding to the unique look of this bag. The padded shoulder strap allows the bag to be carried comfortably across the body. A smart sleeve strap on the rear of the bag, however, also allows the bag to slide over the handle of wheeled luggage. Doing so places the burden of weight onto the suitcase and enables travellers to move more effortlessly on their journey. Considered design is apparent throughout the interior and exterior of the Red-Eye. No detail has been left amiss, making this bag the ultimate piece of luxurious, functional luggage. No business traveller should be without one.
