Marble Initial Suitcase

A marble initial suitcase is the one piece of personalised luggage that looks like it came from a boutique rather than a gift shop — and it is still the easiest bag in the world to pick out on a carousel.

Choose your letter and we set it as large as the shell allows, on your choice of 22 marbles: classic Carrara white and Calacatta gold, dramatic Nero Marquina black and gold, emerald, malachite, blue agate, sodalite navy, blush rose, rose quartz, honey onyx, travertine and more. Then choose the font — an engraved Cinzel capital, a high-contrast Vogue serif, a flowing Dancing Script — and the colour it is printed in, from gold and rose gold through champagne, silver and ivory to charcoal and black. Two and three-letter monograms work exactly the same way if you would rather have your full initials.

Every stone in the picker was generated at print resolution and stored, not photographed off a stock library, so the veining is unique to us and the same letter never lands awkwardly across a joint or a watermark. The design is dye-sublimated onto a canvas which is then encapsulated beneath the clear polycarbonate front shell, which is why it survives the hold: there is nothing on the surface to scratch off.

It makes an unusually good gift — a 21st, 30th or 40th birthday, an engagement or honeymoon, a graduation, a retirement trip or a leaving present — because it is personal without being cute, and it gets used every single holiday. Cabin, check-in and hold sizes are all available, each with a built-in lock and four 360° double swivel wheels.
