Since 2019 : The Skateboard Spirit Reinventing Luggage

 

Born in Munich in 2019, Floyd is the brainchild of designers Bernd Georgi and Horst Kern, two industry veterans who grew up enamored with the free-spirited skate culture of 1970s Venice Beach. What captivated them wasn’t just the boards themselves, but the revolution sparked by polyurethane wheels. Suddenly, skateboards weren’t clunky planks but fluid extensions of movement, color, and personality.

 

When the pair looked at the modern luggage industry, they saw a very different picture: sterile black shells, minimalism drained of joy, and a landscape of sameness. Their radical idea? Infuse travel gear with the creativity and vibrancy of skateboarding. By attaching skateboard-style wheels to premium luggage shells, they didn’t just improve performance. They gave travelers a chance to roll with style. Floyd’s mission was set: to give modern travel its mojo back.

 

about floyd

 

Floyd isn’t just another suitcase brand. It’s a lifestyle label that fuses German precision with Californian attitude. Think of it as the antidote to soulless travel gear: bold, colorful, and unapologetically expressive. Its core audience? Design-savvy globetrotters who want their luggage to be as stylish and unique as their wardrobe.

 

“Giving modern travel its mojo back.”

 

More playful than Tumi, more design-driven than Away, and less corporate than Rimowa.

 

 

Products

 

At the heart of Floyd’s lineup is its family of polycarbonate travel cases, crowned by the cult-favorite Cabin (41L), the carry-on darling of jet-setters worldwide. Other silhouettes range from the compact Junior (31L) to the massive Trunk (95L), all built for impact resistance and equipped with Floyd’s signature modular wheels.

 

Beyond hard cases, the brand extends into soft travel goods: weekender bags, washkits, shoppers, backpacks, and pouches. Yet, the true stars remain the Cabin Case and Check-In (61L), sleek shells with interiors lined in Floyd’s iconic orange and fitted with compartments that prove practical doesn’t have to be boring.

why floyd

 

At its core, Floyd celebrates self-expression and joyful utility. It’s about travel as a statement, not conformity. Borrowing skateboarding’s rebellious ethos, the brand insists that function can also be fun, and durability can go hand-in-hand with personality.

In short, Floyd makes luggage that wants to be seen.
