The ideal result? A lifetime of use.

And we are off. The world is opening up and the holidays are back!

I must say, it is great to be able to start traveling again, as I sit here thinking about where to go, having spent the last two years house bound. Infact it was only a few weeks that I ventured into London for the first time since the Pandemic and it felt good. Meeting clients and friends, but importantly, being able to do things in person.

Having said that, the bag I use for traveling was looking a bit tired, and it has been something that I have been desperate to change, and given that I work in the luxury sector, finding the perfect leather bag both for traveling over seas and a laptop bag is never easy.

Thinking to myself, there must be something out there that fits my profile and needs; I found a Scandinavian, Carl Friedrik, a luxury leather and travel goods company.

So who is Carl Friedrik? Founded in 2012 by two Swedish brothers Niklas and Mattis Oppermann, who saw a gap in the market for minimalist, well-designed, high-quality leather goods that were affordable. So far, for me it is a tick, tick, and tick. The company is named after their grandfather who served as an inspiration to the brothers. The company was born with the ambition of becoming a brand that holds real value in the lives of people all over the world.

“By prioritizing functionality with timeless designs we empower our customers to allow them to engage with the world smarter, focusing on the things that matter the most. Our definition of quality is based on durable products, fine materials and exceptional craftsmanship. The ideal result? A lifetime of use. We want to provide a seamless, sophisticated experience where people can engage with our products; across all categories,”
— Niklas, co-founder of the company.

I have to agree, when I go anywhere, image is important, especially in Luxury. I never know who I am going to meet and having the right briefcase that looks the part in so important. A briefcase that is clean in design, functional with plenty of pockets and most importantly, made to a high quality using the best materials.

“Our company is inspired by Scandinavian minimalism. At Carl Friedrik, we are committed to only producing long lasting products that are thoughtful and intentional. Every detail has a meaning from easy-access pockets in wallets, to luggage holders for our bags, and integrated power banks. We’ve created a portfolio to allow customers to carry with confidence,” said Mattis, co-founder of Carl Friedrik.

Recently, the brand has expanded into the United States of America, where I have no doubt they will do well. And did I tell you that the brand offers both a 100-day trial and a lifetime guarantee.
