“Consumer Luxury On the Move”

Paul Mascaro, a designer & architect wanted to launch a luxury men’s luggage range that can demand performance but mostly be a quality piece . It’s now available online at www.PaulMagi.com

Their aim was to create luxury lifestyle accessories that are smart, understated and, above all else, a pleasure to use.

The style is a fusion of both Paul’s British and Mediterranean heritage and his training as an architect. Each design seeks to express the natural qualities of the materials, taking inspiration from the city and nature, resulting in a contemporary, yet timeless look of casual luxury.

Firmly fixed in the opposite direction of the trend for fast fashion, the label instead is focused on releasing just one product at a time. Designs are developed over an extended period, with each innovative detail tested and evolved, resulting in products that are built to last.

The first product is the “Overnighter”, a bag to take all your essentials and more for a short trip

The quality of this product you can see straight away from opening the beautiful yellow box that holds the bag. The box shows true quality and elegance before even opening it. Once opening the box you come across a beautiful dust bag covering the “Overnighter” bag.

From pulling the bag out you can see the quality straight away and the amazing details and designs that have gone into it. Wonderfully smooth Italian cow leather next to beautifully rugged yet stylish British cotton canvas (water resistant). These are accompanied by amazing Superlampo zippers. Made by Giovanni Lanfranchi Spa in Italy. (Details and images below)

Superlampo Zippers

Superlampo are the top of the range zipper produced by Giovanni Lanfranchi Spa in Italy and embody art, luxury and technology. With impeccable finishing quality, the polished teeth and zippers are luxurious to touch and run incredibly smoothly. The company meets the strictest requirements for ecological textile production.
With a history that extends since 1887, the company is a world leader in quality and supplier of some the most respected global luxury brands.

British Water Resistant Cotton Canvas

We work with two iconic British suppliers of Cotton Canvas;
British Millerain have been making water resistant fabric since 1880. Since then, the company has developed fabrics for a wide range of clothing and outdoor applications, including for the armed forces and country pursuits. The traditional manufacturing processes combined with the latest technology makes the company a world leader in Waxed Cotton.
Halley Stevensons started producing waxed cotton in 1864 from their factory in Scotland. Since then, the company has pioneered new finishes for water resistant cotton resulting in products with character that boast superior performance and appearance

The Overnighter really is a great travel companion. Why not have everything you need with you and have it in style.

The back compartment is accessed with the bag upright. The inside has elasticated pockets, designed to accommodate all sorts of objects like sunglasses and cables and even fits a change of footwear. The opposite side provides pockets for other smaller items like cards, pens and coins.

The design of the handles allows for them to always stay in place without obstructing access to any compartment. With a double tube construction the seam is hidden away and so there are no exposed edges which might provide discomfort

The laptop compartment, sandwiched between the two larger sections (middle of the bag), is also fully padded on the bottom and sides. The top zipper provides quick access to your laptop or tablet, ideal for passing through airport security. The generous internal dimension will accommodate up to a 17″ laptop, but the design ensures a snug, safe fit for most devices

Overnighter pack 2
The signature feature of the Overnighter is that it can be opened laid flat on its side as well as when it is positioned upright. With the bag horizontal, you can access the the clothing compartment, which provides a dedicated space to buckle in a change of clothes flatly and hidden away until required
