Antler 1914 Accessories Collection

Antler, the renowned British travel brand, has launched the 1914 Collection, a capsule of leather luggage and accessories that marks a significant return to its roots in leather craftsmanship. Named to honor the year the brand was founded, this collection pays homage to Antler’s 110-year legacy while looking forward to the future of travel.

The 1914 Collection draws inspiration from Antler’s archives, reinterpreting its historic expertise in leather with a modern touch. The centerpiece of the collection is the Icon Stripe with Leather Pocket, a limited-edition version of Antler’s signature cabin suitcase. This piece, featuring a tan leather front panel, is produced in a limited run of 110 units, each representing a year of the brand’s dedication to quality and innovation.

In addition to luggage, the 1914 Collection expands Antler’s portfolio with a range of lifestyle accessories designed for the modern traveler. The lineup includes a passport cover, laptop case, cross-body pouch, document case, and luggage tags, all crafted in matching tan leather. These items complement the collection’s timeless aesthetic, featuring contemporary elements like metallic zippers and monogrammed linings made from recycled polyester. The Icon logo, embossed in leather for the first time, adds a sophisticated touch.

Antler emphasises responsible sourcing in this collection, with all leather certified by the Leather Working Group. This choice aligns with the brand’s commitment to quality and sustainability, ensuring that each piece in the collection ages gracefully, developing a unique patina over time that reflects the journeys of its owner.

The 1914 Collection will be available from August 28, 2024, online at Antler.com and at Antler’s New York residency at 150 Spring Street.
