The Find: female-friendly luggage designed by a former jet-setting lawyer
Even experienced travelers sometimes resort to stashing essentials in grocery bags and Ziplocs. Enter Ebby Rane, a Toronto-based luxury travel brand from Sonja M. Salmon, a former corporate lawyer and frequent flyer. The fledgling line’s first product, The Quartermaster, is a marvel of organizational design. Inspired by bespoke Victorian traveling chests, each leather-trimmed case holds a dozen colour-coordinated containers, each earmarked for a specific purpose: bags for laundry, lingerie and wet bathing suits; sleeves for footwear; soft cases for jewelry, cosmetics, liquids and tech accessories; and a leather document pouch that’s stylish enough to double as a clutch. Available in three colour schemes. $1145.
Available for pre-order through ebbyrane.com. $175 off orders placed by December 31st.

You can achieve the same result for a lot less by just buying sets of bags that match and a 360 degree spinning wheel suitcase with a flap in the middle.
This, coming from someone who also travels a lot for work as a consultant and for pleasure.
Just because it’s overpriced, matching and supposedly “female friendly” doesn’t impress me.
well said. I actually really don’t like it being marketed as “female friendly.” The idea is surely ” human traveler friendly,” but certainly not “wallet friendly.” I don’t know if zombies would like it either.
I saw this featured in Chatelaine. Something to the effect “move over Louis Vuitton”. Absolutely see luxury, discerning buyers appreciating the extra thoughtful details and organization component in addition to the high quality and functionality.
serious waste of money. you are paying a premium for some matched bags….1k for that?!? the suitcase bags just replace plastic bags..
