Look: Luggage by Catherine Manuell Design
Melbourne

Who hasn’t stood at an airport carrousel waiting for their luggage and noticed the best looking bag a mile away while waiting for your generic black case that you’re not 100% sure is actually yours, even as you reach for it? Catherine Manuall Designs have an outstanding range of luggage that will eliminate that dilemma. Designed in Melbourne they can be purchased all over the world…

...see a range of stockists on the website here. We saw an interview with Catherine Manuall over at Daily Imprint which was an interesting read, particully to find out about the work she is doing with her Aboriginal Women’s Artist project. Catherine Manuall Design also for a range of purses, bags, scarves and document folders.

No kidding. The bags are an afterthought - hardly noticeable next to those bizarre legs and whipped-up skirt and hair.

yeah... hooray eating disorders.

but the bags are nice. i'm just not willing to sink the kind of money they probably cost into something i'll use once, MAYBE twice a year... if i'm lucky. probably a worthwhile buy for the frequent flyer, though. i'll stick with my colorful bag tags.

Seriously - how can I support a luggage line that's trying to sell suitcases via anorexia teetering on impossible platform stiletto stripper heels? Photoshopped or not, it's a really creepy image...

It is a creepy image. Pray to God it's photoshopped! They can't be real - she'd break!

As for luggage... I'm with ClosertotheOcean - even when I was traveling for work I just can't throw a lot of money at something that baggage handlers and equipment are bound to tear, break or soak. (Fabric, wheels, entire suitcase)

When my last black bag bite the dust with bum wheel thanks to DIA (or United) equipment claws - I darted off to TJMaxx and found a cheery blue suitcase with gray racing stripes. It looks like a giant tennis shoe!

Then in subsequent trips, I was always shocked when someone else thought it was theirs! I still haven't seen another bag that looks like it - I'm stunned people don't know how to ID their bags. Even when I had a black bag I could spot the stitching, or zippers or other details from afar.

What really bugs me are people who stand with their knees up to the carousel before bags are even on the conveyor! Dude.... stand back 8 feet until you see your bag... you're in the way of people who actually CAN SEE their bag!

gross ad. cool design. and yet, it's luggage, so it won't be pretty after the first time you use it.

wow. today's ads make me scared for tomorrow's children.

pretty luggage though. too bad it'll get scuffed up and covered in dirt and dust from all the carousels and baggage trucks.
