The alliance epitomises the pinnacle of luxury travel, with Flexjet’s ultra-high-net-worth clientele offered access to a specifically curated luggage collection, designed to complement the style, ease and sophistication of flying with Flexjet.

Introducing two colourways, the limited-edition Flexjet collections are available in Ivory with a Steel leather trim – inspired by the livery of the Flexjet fleet – with a second option of Original Brown with a Burgundy leather trim. Each piece is composed of robust vegetable tanned leather and a vulcanised fibreboard body, with a unique aircraft and star pattern interior featuring the Flexjet logo and aircraft icon.
