Giorgio Armani Luxury Traveler Collection

Although travel by steamship has gone by the wayside and prim suits have been replaced by sweatsuits as appropriate airplane attire, vacationing doesn't have to be entirely lacking in glamour this summer. Inspired by the elegance of bygone eras, Giorgio Armani has just introduced its Luxury Traveler Collection, a set of distinctive pieces of luggage guaranteed to turn even average tourists into modern day Rita Hayworths. For women, the three-piece set features a travel bag, vanity case, and suitcase, all in black or brown patent crocodile skin made particularly glossy by a special agate cylinder finish, while men get a four-piece collection of different sized suitcases and a doctor's bag in printed calfskin. We can’,t say whether Armani’,s jet-setting lifestyle of island hopping and rubbing elbows with the likes of Tom Cruise had an impact, but if the hand-stitched nappa leather lining, a personalized metal label, and a crocodile skin address holder are any indication, the sophistication of the sets will certainly make an impact on fellow vacationers.
