Antler
Antler has been in the luxury travel luggage and holiday luggage business for over 80 years. Boultbee Brooks, founder of Antler luggage, together with his son in 1920, entered the luggage market, with leather covered wardrobe trunks for ocean liners. In 1930 Antler launched the first ever lightweight, soft-top suitcase. In the late 1940's, Antler came back into the luggage business again, concentrating on the new soft-sided luggage, with rich linings and up to the minute fabrics like 'lizard skin' and other new materials. After the war in the 1950's and 1960's, as the Travel Industry expanded and the start of mass tourism began, Antler was on the forefront with technical innovations in Holiday Luggage suitable for the new age of air travel. A best seller of this era was 'Airstream' a combination soft/hard suitcase. The 1980's brought a sea change in soft luggage from the earlier PVC based products to the much stronger Polyester type. The 1990's saw the company's entry into the hard luggage and suitcase market with ever increasing success, and the introduction of leather goods extended the brand further. Antler led the field with technological design revolutions with rollercase luggage, radically changing the shape of the suitcases forever. Three key principles have guided the vision and development of the company from the earliest days of Boultbee Brooks; Quality, Innovation & Style. These remain the hallmarks for which Antler Luggage stands today.

Antler Luggage
For more than three quarters of a century, Antler luggage has been setting the standard in luxury travel bags. The company started in 1920 when founder Boultbee Brooks created a company to provide trunks to be used by travelers on ocean liners. These carefully crafted pieces were of the utmost durability and fashion in their sleek leather covering. By the 30’s, the first lightweight, soft-top suitcase was launched by the Antler Company. In the 40’s they rededicated the company to soft-sided luggage using luxurious linings and trendy new fabrics.
The company continued to develop after the war with the travel boom. In the 50’s and 60’s, Antler luggage kept up with the mass tourism needs and continually designed new pieces to cater to the ever changing needs of travelers who were now using air travel more regularly. The 80’s meant increased durability in soft luggage by introducing significantly stronger polyester materials instead of previous PVC-based pieces. Durability ruled in the 90’s when hard luggage became the focus of Antler and technological revolutions in convenience, comfort, innovation, and style have been the standard ever since. The latest rolling luggage in durable materials and hot and classic designs mean that you can always be confident in selecting Antler luggage.
