The Search For Ideal Luggage Continues: V Australia's 'Perfect Bag'

October 28, 2009 at 12:12 PM | by | Comments (0)

It's one of the oldest moneymaking games in the book: convince tourists that the bags they're traveling with aren't safe enough, or convenient enough, or stylish enough, and sell them a more jaunt-friendly bag. Very very soon however, all this could be put to rest by the release of the fruit of the labors of a fashion designer-airline combination.

Whether you're of the type that prefers the sixteen zippered pockets and multitude of snaps, or the type that wants only a simplistic tote, V Australia is asking you to help them design "the perfect bag for the perfect trip."

Intro from Perfect Project on Vimeo.

Well, the actual designer behind the bag is mainly Steven Alan, who is known for his trusted brand and boutiques in New York. He's currently off traveling around Australia gleaning inspiration for the creation of the bag, but V Australia is reaching out to travelers for their input as well, by asking you to send them your own Australia travel stories and comments on Steven's daily trip blog.

Since this is V Australia we're talking about, their idea of the perfect trip for this perfect bag is of course Down Under. More specifically, we read on Steven's blog that he's been looking hard for inspiration on dives in the Great Barrier Reef, in the flavor of coconut pancakes, and at a sailmaking shop near the Cairns airport.

Although there's no word yet on the price of the bag or exactly when it'll be available for purchase, we do know that it'll be limited edition and evoke the spirit of the trip to Australia. It's an intriguing concept in the world of travel gear, and rest assured that we'll keep you up to date.
