After launching their partnership in 2024, British brands Carl Friedrik and Hackett London have expanded their collaborative range with the addition two new bags – the Compact Weekender and the cabin-friendly The Carry-on X, a Carl Friedrik icon immortalized on screen as a favorite of Succession’s Logan Roy.
Founded in 2012, Carl Friedrik is a relative newcomer in luxury travel, and while its products have featured in HBO’s aforementioned dark comedy-drama, its carefully crafted and thoughtfully designed bags predate the entry of “quiet luxury” into the fashion lexicon.
One of these, The Carry-on X, is an award-winning and super durable 43L capacity cabin bag built with an aluminum frame and designed with the modern traveller in mind. It features a polycarbonate shell and includes an easy-to-access front pocket that unzips and expands to reveal separate small pockets suitable for passports and other personal effects, as well as a dedicated laptop sleeve with a velcro strap to secure your device. The main compartment is divided into two spaces, both of which feature compression straps in an “X” shape, with one side including a zippered compression pad. Vegetable-tanned leather details are found throughout the bag, including both the side and top handles, as well as a co-branded logo patch inside the main compartment.
The other new bag in the brands’ collaborative collection is the Compact Weekender, a minimally designed overnight bag made from smooth yet strong nubuck leather. It has a generous 24L capacity and features four pockets, one of which is a quick-access slip pocket, and weighs just 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg). Both of the new bags arrive in Hackett London’s famous navy and green palette, a color combination that has become a signature of the brand, and one that easily compliments Carl Friedrik’s existing aesthetic.
The latest pieces from the Carl Friedrik and Hackett London collection are available now. Prices start at £395 GBP / $545 USD.
