Antler continues to reinvent itself post-pandemic and the latest move from the premium luggage specialist is its very first move into the clothing category.

Its new Essentials collection includes travel-worthy clothing and accessories that are “lightweight, adaptable” and “always ready”. The launch comes “following huge customer demand and putting 110 years of travel expertise into practice”.

The company said the collection is “designed to keep up without weighing you down. Lightweight and compact, this new range of accessories and apparel is as adaptable as your day. From quick errands to slow coffees, popping to the shop or squeezing in a class, our Travel Essentials are made for getting you from A to B – and C to Z”.

So what does that mean in practice? Think logo hoodies, sweats and tees ranging in price from £45 to £95, a baseball cap at £30 and a series of useful bags. 

The unisex apparel capsule “makes travel more comfortable. Relaxed, versatile, and made for movement, these are limited edition pieces you’ll reach for on repeat – from long-haul flights to off-duty moments” .

Made from fully recycled ripstop fabric, there’s also an Essential Tote Bag, Wash Bag, Cross Body, and Packing Pouches. They’re “versatile solutions for daily detours. Designed as a seamless system, they pack neatly inside one another”.

The accessories are priced from £25 up to £65 and the company said the Essential Tote bag “fits everything in an organised secure fashion” and can also serve as an under-seat bag on major airlines.
